What does "free for personal use" mean?


Jul 24, 2020 at 01:13

Hello, I can't figure out how to contact the author of "Elf Noir du Mal" font. I think it's SDFonts, I don't understand everything. Unable to know how to contact him, I can't find any link, his site no longer has a valid link. I would like to use the font for the title of a novel and the title of the chapters. How can I do? I looked everywhere.

Son site a fermé en 2007.

"You've entered to the SDFonts Webpage. Here is collected my all fonts. They are all for free."

Claudeserieux thank you,


I looked at your police, it is very successful. How can I propose the purchase of a license to DSFonts if it has closed? In another web site he wrote 100% freeware, I don't know what that means. For commercial use or not?

Hi. I am very new to this and I don't know if someone has asked before, but I am writing a story and I post it on a website. I would like to know if it seems appropriate to use a font with "for personal use only" on it. I do not receive any money whatsoever, but it is still for the cover of a book I have written. Thanks. (Hope my question isn't too stupid!)

If you're not selling the book, and you're not making any money from ads on the website, it should be fine.
If you'd like to be sure, contact the font designer.

Hello, i would be really grateful if somebody can explain this one for me.

I have just finished a graphic designer course and started to create my portfolio, i want to publish my works on Behance, Fiverr, 99design and similar. In logos i create for companies that does not exist (assume companies) i want to use fonts that are "for personal use". Are portfolios a personal use? I understand that if somebody wants me to create such a logo for their company they need to buy license for fonts. But my purpose right now is just create a beautiful portfolio. Can i use font for personal use in it?

Thank you!

Most of us designers here on who produce "Free for personal use" fonts also sell our fonts on sites such as Creative Fabrica and FontBundles. Others have a paypal account or other such payment solution on their website.

The ones I've made are sell for 8-12 dollars for a commercial license with the sites usually offering generous discounts.

To most users I say, if you use them in your professional capacity or plan on making money by using my font then it's commercial.

The point of offering them "free for personal use" is to allow you to try it out, and to show I don't really care if you use it for some personal project or just play around with it.

I myself used another font on this site for a previous employer, it wasn't exactly hard to convince my boss to pay 15 dollars or so for a license.

As for this question...

If you use it in your portfolio and try to sell yourself as a designer on Behance, wouldn't it look more professional if you bothered to support the designers you've in effect chosen to collaborate with? As I've mentioned, most font licenses aren't that expensive, from what I've seen the price range is usually somewhere between 8-30 USD with several of the sites offering discounts on a regular basis. Look up the designers profile on DaFont or the description for information on their license and where they sell them.

Can't be used for commercial stuff. Paid products, company logos, etc...
(i don't recommend those type of fonts.)
