No wonder I get very productive this time of the year. Whatever ideas I have for a new project will come to fruition regardless of my thousand and one obligations as a creative. I thought it would be nice to come up with a pairing guide of fall fonts you could actually use for commercial use.
These free fall font pairings are great for making physical artworks and selling them on-site or online. It is a new twist on a Free and Charming Fall Fonts post that I published almost two years ago. It created quite a ripple effect with sharing and pinning I hardly expected. Apparently, I am not the only one to have "font fever" now and then.
Although many free fonts have developed a bad reputation, there are still some amazing free alternatives to paid fonts out there. In fact, many designers and font creators make their work available for free, either to share their creativity, showcase their skills, or as part of open-source initiatives.
Websites like DaFont, Font Squirrel, Creative Fabrica, Font Bundles, and Google Fonts offer a treasure trove of high-quality free fonts that can elevate your design game without breaking the bank.
Always err on the side of caution and read the license file on the
download page or in the font zip folder before using the font commercially. You know that little READ ME file in ALL CAPS for emphasis in the font folder that no one reads?! There are still some web and print restrictions under the commercial license you have to be familiar with – re-selling or giving away the
font file for one. The acceptable commercial usage varies depending on the online
font website.
Inspired by
the golden hues of the season and a few sips of pumpkin spice latte, here are 10 fall font combinations that can be re-paired or used as-is
to create numerous unique designs in an instant. I hope you will enjoy putting them to good use. You are welcome to use these font pairings as is on your products to sell – just remember to make sure that the chosen fonts are fully licensed for their intended use.
