Hi, I downloaded the Imperator small caps font and was wondering if you had the license document available to show how the font can legally be used?

Hi, this font is 100% free
If you need a document, you should write to its author: https://moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/lloyd/ (contact link in top nav)

Thanks for the help, I will contact the author.

Paul Lloyd hasn't released any new fonts in more than fifteen years. Don't be surprised if you find no current contact information.


There are a lot of professional quality fonts made before 2005 in particular that are 100% free for all use. In several cases, the designers were retired persons who had worked in typography prior to the digital age, and they designed fonts from alphabets that may only have existed in lead block formats.

Dieter Steffman used to grant commercial usages for his many fonts to anyone who asked him politely on his home page. Manfred Klein is retired from typography, and perhaps no longer alive. His last released fonts were in late 2007, and he sent me three fonts by e-mail that were works in progress in early 2008. He didn't answer my reply to that e-mail.

No free ones, maybe, but a ton of commercial ones.

I'd be surprised, though, if he responded to queries regarding his older, free typefaces.
