Although there are built-in free fonts available in both Windows and Mac operating systems, there are still situations where they are not enough and you feel tired of using them. We have introduced many free fonts before, such as:Roboto Flex、Roboto Serif、MiSans、FDR Fonts、Jiashi Sports、851 fontsWait, this article is going to recommend another very powerful website called “Font Shapes Are Not Good”, which organizes a large number of Chinese, English and Japanese open source fonts. Because it is open source, it can be legally used for commercial purposes, and each font is displayed online, which is quite good.
“Font Shapes Are Not Good” organizes a large number of Chinese, English and Japanese open source fonts, claiming to be copyright-free and legal for commercial use.
Font Shape is not a completely free font collection website, and because there are quite a few advertisements, you may accidentally click on it, so please pay more attention when downloading. There are classification options at the top of the website, including “Chinese font downloads”, “Chinese font generators”, “English font downloads”, “English font generators”, “Japanese font downloads” and “Japanese font generators”. The homepage also lists all font downloads and generators:
The picture below shows free Chinese fonts, with nearly 50 choices, some of which we have introduced before, such as official script fonts, Song fonts, etc.:
Next, there are English fonts. There are so many English fonts, more than 50 choices, and they are not repeated. You can see that they are different from Chinese, and the names are quite special, such as: pen font, signature font, wedding font, Wenqing font, etc.:
There are also many Japanese fonts, but some of them overlap with Chinese:
I would also like to remind you that although the fonts collected on the website are advertised as open source and can be used commercially, I still recommend that after you find a font you like, you can go online to check whether the font is really open source and free. It will be safer. After all, you are going to use it for commercial purposes. It will be much safer to do this more often. In addition, when I look at the font names written on the website, many of them don’t feel like the real names of the fonts.
Each font has a detailed introduction on the inner page, such as a template preview of this font, so that you know in advance what the font looks like:
There are also templates in English, and they range from lowercase to uppercase:
The copyright will be indicated at the bottom, and where it can be used. For example, creative fonts are free to download, open source fonts, and can be used for commercial purposes. It is a pity that there is no official source attached. Friends who want to use it commercially are really recommended to check it to be safer. In addition, there are supported operating systems:
The download point is located at the bottom of the page and will say “Download Point”. Most of the other links are back to the same page:
The font generator is also fun. This tool means that you don’t need to download and install it on your computer. You can directly generate the font + font you want online. It is available in Chinese, Japanese, and English:
Enter the text you want in the font input field, and then click Generate font. A font image with a transparent background will be generated below:
Compared with other font websites, this font website has quite complete information. You can preview all the fonts online, and it also has authorization instructions and supported operating systems. It would be even better if the official source of authorization could be added.
