FONTS: To use? Or not to use?
Fonts, to Use? Or not to Use? It Depends
It Depends
on how you are using them, Later I will Teach You How to use them Properly .
Because if You Don’t know which font you can Use freely, you might End up
Violating Certain Law on Copyright.
First, Let’s Define Three types of Font Licenses…
The First is “Open Font License”
The Second is “Free, but for Personal use only License”
And the “Commercial Use License”
The Open Font License (OFL) - Free for
all Purpose (Personal and Commercial) for the goals of the Open Font License
are to stimulate worldwide Development of collaborative font projects, to
support the font creation efforts of academic and linguistic communities, and
to provide a free and open framework in which fonts may be shared and improced in
partnership with others.
The OFL allows the licensed fonts to
be used, studied, modified and redistributed freely as long as they are not
sold by themselves
The Free, but for Personal Use only
License - it allows you to use the fonts for personal use only, you can use it
any way you want, except for Logo and Branding coz. You need to purchase their
license fot them to allow you to use it Legally!
You MAY
NOT sell this font or claim them as your own.
You MAY NOT edit or rename this font.
You MAY NOT redistribute this font.
You MAY NOT edit or rename this font.
You MAY NOT redistribute this font.
The Commercial use license
- it allows you to use their fonts
for a fee Sometimes any amount of donations is good enough some have their prices It includes a complete set of characters and punctuation marks that you can use from logo to any kinds of branding Legally!

this is what
I confirmed when I asked a company from sweden that sells
Commercial typefaces for logo and branding purposes.
