Free Fonts That Are OK for Commercial Use

Back in July I posted about Bitter, a free font that's designed for online reading. However a reader pointed out that not all fonts are licensed for commercial use and suggested this list of fonts that are.

If you’re on the hunt for free fonts for your business needs, you’ve probably hit some roadblocks along the way. Many design websites suggest a plethora of “free” fonts, only for the fine print to hit you hard: “free for personal use only.” Or you find fonts that are free to use, but you have to pay a monthly fee to access the download websites.

I’ve done extensive digging and found 70+ fonts that offer free licenses for commercial (and personal) use.

Keep in mind, some licensing terms might limit what you can do (no repackaging or reselling fonts, for example), but otherwise, you’re in the clear when it comes to standard usage of these fonts.

The article also offers tips on font design and usage and includes screen shots of the more than 70 fonts listed.
