What is Fontshare.com?
Fontshare.com is a free font library that helps designers browse, download, and self-host type families from the Indian Type Foundry.
Browse typefaces by category
Fontshare.com organizes fonts into categories such as Sans, Serif, Slab, Display, Handwritten, and Script, plus additional filters for properties. The interface supports both list view and grid view, and lets you sort by options like New, Popular, Hot, and Alphabetical. You can also narrow results using properties including # of Styles (1 to 20+), Weight (examples shown from 50 to 1000), Width, Contrast, Edges, x-Height, and Personality (for example, Informal, Corporate, Classic, Elegant, Dramatic, Clean, Futuristic, Serious, Dirty, Luxurious, and Friendly).
Explore Fontshare Originals and licensing entries
A central feature is the Fontshare Originals section, which includes named families such as Satoshi, Clash Display, General Sans, and Cabinet Grotesk. Families show whether styles are Variable and/or Static, along with style counts and weight details.
Examples visible on the page include:
- Satoshi: shown with 10 styles, including Light, Light Italic, Regular, Italic, Medium, Medium Italic, Bold, Bold Italic, Black, and Black Italic.
- Clash Display: shown with 6 styles.
- General Sans: shown with 12 styles and includes Variable Italic options.
- Cabinet Grotesk: shown with 8 styles.
Fontshare also includes Pairs and Licenses views, and each family provides access to relevant license entries. If you’re evaluating a typeface for a project, the family page is where you can confirm exactly which styles are included.
Download and self-host with CSS for @font-face
When you’re ready to use a family, open it with “View Family” and download the family package. The download is designed for self-use: after extracting the zip, you can use the provided assets (including a WEB directory) and the accompanying CSS files to implement @font-face in your project.
Font downloads support OTF, WOFF, and WOFF2 formats for self-hosting.
Quick setup workflow
- Browse categories or use property filters
