Thanks, Francesco.

Fortunately, I am doing well and working from home is not only good for me but for everyone else around me. Let's hope this situation doesn't last long.

Best wishes!

Pali is copyrighted but free. It's the only one so far I have found with accented petite capitals. http://www.softerviews.org/Fonts.html

Cardo is another nice one https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Cardo

And Linux Libertine.

Bhikkhu Pesala's fonts use a license that allows modifications, but the names (internal/external) must be changed and the modified font released using the same license.

I see it has changed.

I hope that tomorrow I will be able to do another check on all of the fotns, as well as add new ones. For now, I will remove it.

Best regards!

A free font from Studio Najbrt, funny "COVID INFECTED" is now available to download.

Well, as promised, I made a new check and made some deletions of Fonts that no longer are Free for Commercial Use... but to compensate for that, new ones will come later. For now, I have this added:

• SANS SERIF - Noto Sans. Similar to Open Sans, with a huge range of styles

Best regards!

Hi again!

Well, there is always some good fonts to be recommended, so, a couple of them:

• DISPLAY - Emberly (Download at https://gumroad.com/l/XTAeN, just put a 0 on the price )
• HEADLINES -  Manrope

Best regards!

Last I checked Noto Sans' design team was trying to cover just about every writing system currently known to humans, right?

Yes, that's the original purpose of Noto (No Tofu), to avoid what happends when a character is not supported by the Font.

Best regards!

A little update!

Added Gilroy, a very popular geometric Typeface, which offers two styles for free :

• HEADLINES -  Gilroy

Finally, for ease of use, colorful previews of the fonts.

 

EDIT: MyFonts offers no Free styles but you can download them from Tinkov's website.

Best regards!

@Mithferion this has been an incredible amount of work on your part, and much appreciated!   I particularly hope that new Affinity users will find your posts here in the Resources forum.

Thanks for your kind words.

I also hope this is helpful for many fellow forum members.

Big Shoulders megafamily

Big Shoulders is a family of condensed American Gothic typefaces, created for the city and citizens of Chicago.
The family’s tall, sans-serif forms honor Chicago’s multiple histories as railway transport hub, public political action center, and the birthplace of House music.

Available as both static Open Type fonts and variable TTF fonts.

Note: Don't download the Google Fonts version since it is not updated and sadly contain lots of bugs (see CE accents for dcaron, tcaron or lcaron for example).

You can easily download the whole package here and later extract specific files from the whole archive instead of downloading file by file from github directory.

With all due respect CLC, but aren't you hijacking Mithferion's thread? He started this as a 'Curated list of Free for Commercial Use Fonts,'  meaning that he's the curator of it. Of course, if you have his consent to post your finds in this list, please accept my apologies.

I don't think I am. I believe I'm updating the most relevant thread with some relevant fonts, don't you think?

I believe if @Mithferion had objections, he would voice them, either here or via PM.

Thanks for your input though!

[Hilltop]

Fair enough. I raised the issue because I felt uncomfortable with someone else posting links to fonts in this thread that were not okayed by Mithferion but if his not objecting is in fact an implicit nod, that's fine with me. 🙂

@CLC @Hilltop

Even if I started this Topic, I am glad more users are contributing to it.

In the next update, I will include Fonts from contributors, once I have had the time to try and review them.

Best regards!

[Hilltop]

Well, now it's all clear! 🙂

[Espen A]

Thanks for sharing. Found some nice fonts😀

Thank you so much! It must’ve taken you ages to compile.

Well, the Topic is almost 3 years old so more or less that’s the time

Well, I dind't expect this but... Metropolis has been taken out due to the owners of Gotham saying something about it... as explained here by Chris Simpson himself:

Hey guys,

Scrooge McDuck (Jonathan Hoefler) came and intimidated me with his lawyer. Between that and belligerent PRs (VMware, I’m looking at you), I gave up, if only for now, and made the repo private. Happy for anyone to fork it and do what they want. Maybe if it didn’t have the name Metropolis, Hoefler would be less of an a$$ about it.

Peace,
C.

It's no longer available in Font Squirrel, but I added a new download link.

Best regards!
