Originally published during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic over five years ago, this post was born out of a quiet season when design was one of the few joyful outlets we had. Today, I’ve dusted it off and refreshed it—because what better way to celebrate summer than with a burst of creativity and sunshine-inspired font pairings?

Have you ever chosen the font on a free font website based off the demo preview in which elaborate loops and curves adorned the letters to only find out after downloading that those embellishments are not available under the personal use license? And to have access to all hidden alternates in the font, you have to purchase a commercial license.
More often than not, this is the case with many free script fonts on the web – the stylish alternates are missing in a free font version. The rule of thumb when looking for free fonts with the glyphs collections is to make sure that the font is the OpenType format. If you download a TrueType (TTF) font file, chances are regardless of what you see on a demo banner you will end up downloading a bare-bone version of the font.
To make your font choices easier, I’ve sifted through numerous free script fonts to find the ones that actually include the glyphs under the personal use license. I hope it helps to speed up your typography process when working on the next design project.
To get the most out of a glyphs panel, I use Illustrator and/or Photoshop as they widely support OpenType features. But as a way around to access glyphs, you can also use a built-in font program, such as Font Book and basic apps on a Mac.
DISCLAIMER: These fonts are for personal use only. If you need an extended
or commercial license, please contact the designer or follow
instructions on the font site to purchase a font's commercial license. For more information about the fonts
and their use, please carefully read the license file included in the font
folder. The rules of each font are subject to change at any time.
It is strictly your own responsibility to make sure that the chosen font is fully licensed for its intended use. If any doubts, please contact
the online font shop directly.
