Font license guides
Summaries of common license tags on FontHubs. Always check each font’s copyright section for the authoritative text.
Free commercial use
Fonts tagged “free commercial use” are published by rights holders for free use in commercial projects. Specific terms may vary—always check the font detail page.
Read guide →Personal use
Personal-use fonts are generally free for non-commercial, private projects only—not for client work or business marketing.
Read guide →Open source
Open-source fonts follow a specific license (MIT, Apache, etc.). Commercial use is often allowed, but attribution and redistribution rules apply.
Read guide →OFL
OFL fonts may be used in commercial designs, but you cannot sell the font files themselves.
Read guide →Paid commercial
Paid fonts require a license from the rights holder. Browsing or downloading on FontHubs does not grant commercial rights.
Read guide →Member only
Member-only fonts are available to active FontHubs members. Commercial scope still depends on the font’s own license.
Read guide →Other license
Fonts tagged “other” or without a clear type are not assumed commercial-safe. Read the copyright section and contact the rights holder if needed.
