Typography is the beginning of every creative project, from branding to creating a website. As a creative, your goal is to convey a message that anybody can understand and relate to. By using easy-to-read and relatable fonts you are already halfway there.

Using the right typeface for your designs can truly make a difference. Because if you use the wrong font that is hardly readable despite looking cool, your readers won’t understand what you’re trying to say.

For example, handwritten calligraphy looks amazing, but if you use it as small print or when you have a lot of words to write it becomes hard to read. The reader needs to stop and take their time to actually read it. Today, nobody has that luxury. Everybody skims over the ads and pins, and you need your message to be quick and easy on the eyes.

Fonts and typefaces have always been around but not all of them are free. The majority of them are affordable and when you go through the proper channels to get a certain font you get the license to use it freely. Otherwise, you can get in a lot of trouble, legally speaking.

But fear no more, there are also a tone of FREE for personal and commercial use fonts available, you just need to search a bit.

Here I’ve gathered 10 FREE to download fonts and you can use them commercially as well.

1. HARMONY:

Ok, yes, this font is FREE for personal use only, but hear me out. It really looks dope, and the license is only 14$. So, I mean let’s not throw it under the bus just yet.
