Is Fontwell’s licence information legal advice?

No. Fontwell explains public font licences in plain English and names the clause behind each answer, but it does not know your project, your jurisdiction or facts outside the licence text. For high-stakes uses, read the font’s own licence and ask a qualified lawyer.

What our verdicts cover

Verdicts in the licence checker and on family pages apply fixed rules written from the SIL Open Font License 1.1, the Apache License 2.0 and the Ubuntu Font Licence 1.0. They describe what those licences permit in general. They do not cover trademarks, contracts you have signed, platform rules, privacy law or the laws of a particular country.

Which licence applies

We identify a family’s licence from the folder it sits in on the google/fonts repository at the snapshot date. A font obtained elsewhere, or an older or newer version, may carry a different licence. The licence file distributed with your copy of the font is authoritative.

Data freshness

All figures show the date of the snapshot they come from. Google may add, rename or update families after that date. See the methodology.
