There is no doubt that fonts are copyrighted, and commercial use without authorization is an infringement!

Many friends were sad when they heard it. It’s not that they secretly used copyrighted words and didn’t want to pay, but that there are so many fonts on the computer, it’s really hard to tell which ones are not commercially available!

In the past, many friends didn’t know that fonts were copyrighted, and it was incredible to hear about infringement. Fortunately, everyone’s copyright awareness has increased significantly in recent years, and font copyrights must be respected!

But this is not to say that we can’t touch all fonts at all. There are many fonts that are either donated or open source. These fonts are available for free commercial use by individuals and businesses.

Today, I sorted out some free commercial fonts collected before, and please use them according to the source of copyright. With these fonts, you don’t have to worry about copyright infringement, and you can put down the stone in your heart!

1. Siyuan font series

Siyuan series fonts are jointly developed by Adobe online font library Typekityu and Google. Currently, Siyuan HeiTi and Siyuan SongTi series are available for free commercial use.

Siyuan HeiTi is a sans-serif font. There are no decorative lines at the beginning and end of the text, and the thickness of the strokes is relatively consistent.

This series provides support for Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (simplified/traditional), and includes 7 boldfaces of different sizes. Simplified Chinese supports all Chinese characters stipulated in the Chinese national standard GB 18030 and the "General Standard Chinese Character Table" promulgated by the Ministry of Education in 2013, which can be said to be very comprehensive.

Friends who have used it should know that this series of fonts has two English names. Adobe calls it Source Han Sans (思源黑体), while Google calls it Noto Sans CJK (CJK: Chinese, Japanese, Korean), don’t doubt it Life, which refers to the same word.

Different from Siyuan HeiTi, Siyuan SongTi has decorative lines or prominent details at the head and tail. It is a serif font and is more suitable for inner text or paragraph text.

Like Siyuan HeiTi, Siyuan Song also supports Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, with 7 levels of font weight. Each of the series has 65,535 glyphs, ensuring a consistent visual aesthetic with few default characters.

In addition, Siyuan soft black body and Siyuan true black body are also free and commercially available. Soft black rounds the corners of Siyuan black text, making the overall look more lively and cute, while true black has made some adjustments and changes in details. It looks sharper.

You would never have imagined that there are three Mingti series modified from Siyuan Songti that are also available for free and commercial use, supporting traditional Chinese fonts, namely Yuan Lumeni, Yuanyang Mingti and Yuanyun Mingti.
