The biggest worry for designers is probably that the fonts specified by customers are not authorized by copyright, and they may be claimed for infringement if they are used forcibly. In recent years, there have been a lot of news about font infringement, and the amount is getting bigger and bigger, as small as tens of thousands of yuan in compensation, and more to hundreds of thousands.
Commercial and Licensing Introduction:
Commercial use: Refers to the behavior of using fonts as visual design elements for the purpose of direct or indirect profit, such as reproduction, distribution, exhibition, screening, information network dissemination, broadcasting, etc.
Well, in short, at work, don't use it!
In fact, it is to go to the official website of the font company to buy the right to use the font.
Last year, Brother Lei Feng had a friend who also encountered font copyright issues and asked for an annual authorization fee for each character. The reason was that the newly registered trademark used a certain font as shown in the picture below, and then traced to the friend’s company’s website and official account pictures. Fonts always require a license fee.
In the end, Brother Lei Feng directly deleted all related pictures, and the registered trademark was also cancelled, and a new one was registered.
Today, Brother Lei Feng found 5 free and commercial Chinese fonts for everyone. You can use them for free without paying copyright fees.
