These two cases were mostly confined to the “in-crowd”. Less savoury were the backlash to Ikea’s switch to Verdana, and the indignation of the design community over the use of Papyrus in the James Cameron blockbuster Avatar (more in the next episode of ScreenFonts). In a positive sense, Peter Verheul‘s Rijksoverheid suite of custom typefaces for the Dutch National Government were a news item on Dutch national television.
Some CC fonts specifically aren't for commercial use, some require an author attribution which in a lot of cases won't be possible so make sure you check it out before use.It is quite rare to see topics related to typography make the mainstream news. Side note: Not all Creative Commons licenses mean you get to use it for commercial use either, make sure you really look at the license type. That person may indeed have vanished and will never know about your use, it's up to you to decide whether it's worth the risk because that person may still be out there and if you are caught using that font, you get sued.įont lawsuits reach into the millions of dollars, so to avoid that always either buy the font you are using (most fonts don't exceed 50 US dollars for a single seat license) or make sure that it clearly states that it's a commercial use font with no strings attached in a read me or some documentation that comes along with the font. The problem with using those fonts is No License doesn't mean you get to use it for commercial use, it just means that they couldn't find the person who made it. Fonts on are a mixture of actual free for commercial use fonts and "Abandonware" fonts. The Rules are confusing as hell for fonts. Join our Discord server Design Subreddits LIST
