All fonts in this generator are from Google Fonts, licensed under the SIL Open Font License (OFL). This means you can use them freely for personal and commercial projects.
While OFL fonts are free for commercial use, if you need formal documentation for a client or legal department, you can reference the official SIL OFL license text or download license files directly from Google Fonts.
Understanding Font Licensing
What the Open Font License actually permits
Every typeface offered here is released under the SIL Open Font License, which is among the most permissive licences in use for fonts. In practice this means you may use them in commercial work, sell products carrying the artwork, use them in a logo or a registered trademark, embed them in a document or an application, and modify them — all without paying a fee, requesting permission, or crediting anyone.
This surprises people, because font licensing in the commercial world is frequently restrictive, with separate tiers for web use, application embedding, and logo use. The OFL has none of that structure. If your question is "can I use this in a product I sell", the answer for every font on this site is yes.
The obligations that do apply
The restrictions run in the opposite direction from what most people expect: they constrain what you do with the font files, not what you make with them. You may not sell the fonts themselves, either alone or as the substance of a bundle — redistributing them as a product is exactly what the licence prevents.
If you modify a font, the modified version must be released under the same licence and must not use the original reserved name. The fonts must also be redistributed with their licence attached. None of this affects a designer producing artwork; it affects someone repackaging the typefaces for resale.
Two misconceptions worth correcting
The first is that a free font cannot be used in a trademark. It can. A trademark protects your specific mark — the particular arrangement of letterforms constituting your brand name — not the typeface used to draw it. Registering a wordmark set in Reem Kufi is entirely normal and does not conflict with the OFL.
The second is that "free" implies lower quality or hobbyist origin. Amiri is a scholarly revival of the Bulaq Press type, Scheherazade and Lateef come from SIL International's work on under-served writing systems, and Reem Kufi and Cairo are widely used in professional Arabic branding. These are serious typefaces that happen to be openly licensed.
The licence covers letterforms, not words
This is the distinction that actually causes problems. A permissive font licence says nothing about your right to reproduce the text you are setting. Copyrighted poetry, song lyrics, a passage from a living author, or another company's trademarked name carry their own restrictions entirely independent of the typeface.
If you are producing something commercial, treat the wording and the typeface as two separate clearances. The font side is settled — everything here is free to use. The text side is your responsibility, and it is where disputes originate.
