Our online font testers do a nice job at previewing our fonts in a browser — but this can neither fully recreate how you might use fonts in a page layout app, nor does it allow you to easily see the fonts in print. Say hello to our Free Trial Fonts!

These font are here to help you examine our typefaces close up in in your favorite desktop app. Selected weights/styles from each of our families all come bundled in one convenient zip file. Just downloaded, install, and get to playing.

The Free Trial Fonts come with a special license agreement (EULA) that can be found below, but here is a summary of the highlights:

Allowed Uses

  • Testing & evaluating the fonts before making a purchase. You may use them as you see fit, and make printouts, but only for testing purposes.
  • Students may use the Trial Fonts on school or personal projects while they are enrolled. Students may also purchase full licenses with a 70% discount – and these fonts may be used on commercial projects, even after graduation.

Not Allowed

  • Using the Trial Fonts in any commercial work.
  • Uploading the Trial Fonts anywhere online – these are only for desktop (offline) testing.
  • Redistributing or sharing the fonts with others. (Please direct people to this page to download their own copies.)

These Trial Fonts are heavily subset and contain only a very basic character set (they do however contain all the main letters, numbers, and punctuation). While this won’t allow trying of the many special features our fonts have to offer, it will still help to get a taste of what they are like.

Please read our Trial Fonts EULA before downloading the fonts.
