About
Fontshare is a font library and distribution platform from Indian Type Foundry that provides downloadable font families for personal and commercial use. The catalog includes both Closed Source fonts under ITF’s Free Font License and Open Source fonts under the SIL Open Font License.
The pricing page states that all Fontshare fonts are free of charge and can be used in print, web, mobile, digital apps, ePub, broadcasting, and OEM. The license also allows embedding in read-only PDFs and use on any number of devices, while restricting redistribution, font serving, and modification of the font software.
- 100 font families
- 59 font pairs
- Closed Source and Open Source licenses
- Unlimited personal and commercial use
- Use across print, web, mobile, apps
- Read-only PDF embedding

Free Tier Value
This free tier is perpetual and has no usage cap, so it’s treated as an uncapped always-free offering rather than something to price against a paid plan. The only meaningful limits are license terms and attribution being optional, so the practical value is effectively the full value of the fonts for ongoing personal and commercial use.

- Access to fonts for personal and commercial use at no charge.
- Unlimited-time use of the font software.
- Use in print, web, mobile, digital, apps, ePub, broadcasting, and OEM.

- Use fonts in non-editable documents for commercial print providers.
