Font Hero

Fonts, Reimagined

Fonts shape how we experience words - they carry tone, emotion, and personality. Well-chosen fonts elevate your graphical creations and allow them to really shine. Yet despite their importance, fonts remain surprisingly difficult to browse and discover.

Typical font sites show you 10-20 crippled specimens in seemingly random order, have limited & inconsistent catalogs, are slow to load, and use complicated licensing terms that make it hard to know what you're allowed to do.

Font Hero solves these problems: hundreds of instantly updating custom specimens organized by style, more than a million fonts with consistent & broad character sets, blazingly fast load times, and simple licensing:

All fonts are free for commercial use while in beta.

After the beta, we will offer simple and reasonable terms for future use.

Styles, Variants, Characters

Font Hero’s catalog of over one million fonts offers both a diverse range of styles and myriad nuanced variations.

By organizing the fonts by style, you can quickly drill down to promising stylistic pockets. Each font page then offers rich cross-linking to help you find a font that gets the details just right.

All fonts include a consistent set of 255 Unicode characters that cover the majority of Latin-based languages. The fonts are delivered as TrueType Font (TTF) files, ensuring wide compatibility across platforms and applications.

AI

Generative AI tools typically depend on text prompts and are slow to deliver results - a poor fit for fonts, where descriptive language is both obscure and imprecise. And who wants to wait?

So instead, we pre-generated a vast catalog for instant, visual font browsing, greatly simplifying the process for the end user.

Legal

Our proprietary generative AI model has been trained from scratch using a dataset of non-copyrighted raster specimens.

Our model and its outputs are therefore not derivative works of any pre-existing font, and are not subject to any copyright claims.

This positions us beyond the disputes surrounding other generative AI models that depend on fair use of copyrighted materials, which is a less robust legal standard.

Looking Ahead

We're just getting started, and can't wait to show you what we're cooking up next - stay tuned!
