Some tips for when you are choosing your free fonts:
- Read the terms of use. Many free fonts are for personal use only.
- Make sure the type you choose includes all characters, special symbols and numbers you may need.
- Print out hard proofs before you commit to an entire batch. Some scripty fonts look very different on paper or in larger or smaller sizes.
