Question 1

When should I use a script or handwritten font?

Accepted Answer

Script and handwritten fonts work beautifully for wedding invitations, greeting cards, logos, packaging, and any design that needs a personal, elegant, or hand-crafted feel. They add warmth and human touch where geometric fonts would feel cold.

Question 2

Are script fonts hard to read?

Accepted Answer

Cursive and connected scripts can be hard to read at small sizes or in long passages. Use them for headlines, names, or short phrases — never for body copy. Pair with a clean serif or sans-serif for any supporting text.

Question 3

Are the fonts on FontBoxDL free for commercial use?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the specific font. Each font page lists its license clearly. Many fonts are free for personal use, while commercial use may require a license purchase. Always check the license details on the individual font page before using a font in client work, products, or branding.

Question 4

How do I install a font on Windows or Mac?

Accepted Answer

On Windows, right-click the downloaded .ttf or .otf file and select "Install". On Mac, double-click the file and click "Install Font" in Font Book. Each font detail page on FontBoxDL also includes a step-by-step installation guide for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS.

Question 5

What file formats do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Most free fonts on FontBoxDL are available in TTF (TrueType) and OTF (OpenType) formats, which work in virtually all design and word-processing software. Premium fonts from our partners may also include WOFF and WOFF2 web font formats for use on websites.

Question 6

Why are some fonts free while others are priced?

Accepted Answer

Free fonts are typically released by designers under personal-use or open-source licenses. Premium fonts are commercial works by professional foundries, with broader usage rights and dedicated support. We host both so you can pick what fits your project and budget.
