100% Free

Oct 12, 2015 at 19:33

Hi - I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on a font that's "100 Free" that I want to use. I'm creating a game and want to use the "Lakmus" font for my logo; is that kosher to do since it's 100% free?

The read me says this is Freeware, but font infos show that 'Preview & Print Embedding not Allowed'. I don't know if a game or an app can use a font that is restricted other than as a static graphic. It certainly won't embed in a pdf, but game/app development is outside my sphere of experience.
Either contact Fenotype, or take a look at 10:12

or Bronson

which are very similar in a lot of respects, and have specific licensing for embedding in apps.
(Although, to my understanding, and I hope others chip in here, if the use of the font is in a static graphic such as a gif, jpeg or png, a standard desktop licence would be required, that being freeware, in the case of Lakmus. But I'm not a lawyer, so asking the font author is always going to be the safest bet )
