Frequently Asked Questions

How do I install the font?
Extract the ZIP, then install either the TTF or OTF, not both copies. On Windows, right-click the extracted file and choose Install. On macOS, open it in Font Book and choose Install. Restart your writing or design app if needed.
Can I use it commercially or on a website?
Yes. Commercial work and website, app, game, and document embedding are allowed. Use WOFF or WOFF2 for websites. You may sell original work made with the font, but not the font files or repackaged copies.
What characters and styles are included?
One Regular style, version 0.500, with 533 encoded characters including spaces. Coverage includes Latin letters, accented forms, numbers and selected symbols, not every language or all Unicode. OpenType feature support varies by application.
Are the illustrated projects included?
No. The images use the actual font to show project ideas. The ZIP contains the font in four formats, installation notes and LICENSE.txt, not editable templates, illustrations or physical items.
May I share the font files?
Yes. You may share the original or modified font files free of charge. Do not sell them or repackaged copies.
