Free Modern Script Fonts With Glyphs For Commercial Use

While working on my Fall and Christmas font pairing guides, I discovered some fantastic free fonts with glyphs that I simply can't resist sharing with you. This ongoing exploration of fonts featuring hidden characters has been a true passion project of mine for quite some time—a project free from deadline constraints. What began as a simple guide to accessing glyphs in various applications has evolved into a series centered around fonts with hidden characters that are ideal for commercial use. My quest for the perfect typeface continues, and I’m thrilled to present yet another curated list of fonts that exude elegance and add decorative flair to your projects.

Glyphs: Hidden Characters of Typography

These fonts come with dozens of beautiful alternates—glyphs—that allow you to customize and elevate your design effortlessly. The best way to access these glyphs is through software that supports OpenType features, such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, CorelDraw, or Affinity Designer.

Glyphs can be utilized in numerous ways, breaking the monotony of headlines and guiding the viewer's eye throughout the entire design piece; plus, they are simply enjoyable to explore and integrate into your projects.

OTF vs TTF: Key Differences in Font Formats

When installing these fonts, be sure to select the OpenType (.otf) font file, as OTF files offer a range of features not available in their TrueType (.ttf) counterparts. OpenType fonts can include custom ornate alternates for standard letters, swashy variations, unique ligatures, special characters, and other delightful extras that enhance the overall typography experience. These hidden treasures allow for greater creative flexibility and customization in your designs, making OTF fonts a superior choice for those looking to elevate their typographic projects with additional stylistic flair.

FONT LICENSING

By signing up for a free account on Creative Fabrica, you can access a wide variety of fonts for your commercial endeavors without incurring any costs. This enables you to produce endless digital and physical creations, such as quotes, names, and custom designs for resale. It's essential to be aware of certain limitations outlined in the commercial license, particularly regarding the modification of font characters into different formats for resale.

For Etsy sellers and Cricut fans, these fonts typically meet the majority of your creative requirements.

P.S. This is not a sponsored post. Frequently, while collaborating on various projects, I encounter ideas that clients set aside, which then find new life here on this blog. These posts serve as valuable references and sparks of inspiration for my design endeavors. I hope you find these ideas as inspiring as I do, and that they ignite your creativity in your own design projects!
