WOAH THERE, MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS FIRST
Before we get to the fun part, here’s some things you need to know. Although the majority of these cool free fonts are actually free for you to use for personal or commercial use, it’s vitally important that you check the licence agreement for any font you choose before downloading it.
Why? Because terms of use may change. So it’s always best to do a final check yourself before downloading a font. This way you are getting the most up-to-date information about your font of choice. We’d also recommend you copy or screenshot and save any licence agreements at the time that you download the font. Keep it handy in case you need to access it later.
It’s also a good time to give you a reminder about the term “royalty free”. When you see this term it’s important to understand that it means you can freely use the image without paying any extra royalties. It doesn’t mean there is no cost for a licence. You need to check that first – it may be that there is no cost or there could be a cost involved. Regardless, it’s always good (as we mentioned) to keep a copy of the licencing terms around the royalty free status.
All set? Great! Let’s dive into our list of Cool Free Fonts for 2019.
This article includes commercially licenced fonts in the first part and some personal use fonts at the end
