Fontspring is a reliable font source with a clean library, no licensing gimmicks, and a focus on giving you fonts you can actually use without a legal team. It is built around the idea of simple, perpetual licensing. Buy it once, use it forever. No renewals, no pageview caps, no hidden rules buried in the fine print. That alone makes it worth saving for later when you are speccing type for a client or delivering files that will live on for years.
The library pulls from a range of reputable foundries. It is not the flashiest catalog, but the selection is strong. You will find solid workhorses, display families with character, and a few hidden gems you will not see spammed across every marketplace. It is also one of the few places that still prioritizes designer trust. Trial fonts are easy to get, and font files come in clean, usable formats.
If licensing has ever slowed you down or blown up your budget after the fact, Fontspring is worth keeping in your back pocket. You can spec a font, check the terms, and feel confident it will hold up when it goes live. It is not the biggest platform out there, but it avoids the chaos and stays focused on what actually matters. Letting you license fonts without jumping through hoops.
