Free for Personal Use
My monochrome fonts are available under the FFPU (Free For Personal Use) License. Why are my fonts free for personal use? I honestly believe that some of the best things in life should be free! Also, I get that even if you’re planning a commercial project, it’s really helpful to have the font on your own computer. That way, you can play around with your designs, see how everything looks together, or make tweaks – things you can’t really do with just limited previews or static screenshots on font sites. You might want to try out different colors, backgrounds, or effects, and having the full font makes all of that so much easier.
That’s why you’re totally welcome to download, install, and use my fonts however you like. Even though making fonts isn’t my main creative focus, I’m able to keep working on them thanks to commercial use licenses. All of my fonts on DaFont, FontSpace, FontM, and lots of other sites will always be free for personal use. If you end up making money with them, though, you’ll just need to grab a license.
What is Personal Use?
- If you’re fond on making yourself a tee-shirt with a clever slogan on it and think it will look best set in one of my fonts – yes, feel free to use my fonts.
- You’re a student trying to get a nice resume or portfolio or CV, again – be my guest.
- You’re a DJ or musician and you want to make a nice cover for your mixtape or track that you are giving away for free on the internet
- You’re making a freely downloadable PDF, a tutorial of some kind – again, use my fonts as you see fit.
Also, I think it’s awesome to see your creations using one of my fonts, so if you want to show them off please mail them to me!
What is Commercial Use?
- business cards, logos, advertising, websites, mobile apps for companies
- t-shirts, books, apparel that will be sold for money
- flyers, posters for events that charge admission
- freelance graphic design work
- movies or others commercial videos
- anything that will generate direct or indirect income
How do I get a license for Commercial Use?
When people approach me with questions about how much it will cost to use it commercially, I usually leave it for them to decide – unless it is a big Hollywood production company or major record label (it is proven that especially these 2 types of companies rarely ask for licenses and carelessly use my fonts in their productions, including for example “Die Hard 5” movie.) I firmly believe that big businesses must pay more and I often grant free licenses to startups and small businesses.
So basically – it depends on the size of your projected use. In order for me to quote you accurately send me a message and I will get back to you with a solution.
Design Agencies or Freelance Designers
If you are needing a license for a client of yours, please contact me so we can discuss your client needs and I will get back to you ASAP.
