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.
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.

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