Font Squirrel

About Font Squirrel

Font Squirrel is a directory of free fonts licensed for commercial use, including desktop use, @font-face web embedding, eBook/document embedding, and application embedding depending on the individual font's license terms. Fonts are hand-selected and organized by tags, popularity, and recency, with contributions from foundries and designers such as Adobe, Mozilla, Ascender Fonts, Dalton Maag, and Paratype, among others. Files are offered for download in OTF or TTF format, some hosted directly and others offsite.

The site also provides font-related tools, including a webfont generator for converting fonts into web-ready formats and a font identifier for matching an unknown typeface from an image. It is aimed at designers and developers who need free, commercially licensed typefaces for graphics, documents, websites, eBooks, or software applications, with a related font-discussion section and links to a separate paid marketplace (Creative Market) for additional fonts.
