The News

Fontspring Blog

Apparently, Being a large corporation doesn’t make you any more organized than the rest of us. A prominent foundry recently filed suit against NBC Universal for $3.5 million for violating their license agreement. Does font licensing need to be so complicated? Fontspring has always set out to be as transparent and user friendly as we possibly can. While it doesn't take the responsibility off of you to read EULAs, we have taken great lengths to simplify the process. Read our comments in our blog post.

Patrick Harrington - Mildly Geeky

I know how great your webfonts are, and I have been recommending that every web designer I know buy them. There are so many who make their own with undesirable results.

John Merrifield - Stiff Upper Glyph

I am newly registered and I would like to sincerely compliment you on your website. It is clean, attractive, and easy to read... Just like a good font.
