Hi everyone this is Juna with detour shirts the channel all about helping you design and sell t-shirts online in this video we’re gonna talk about free fonts for designing t-shirts online that’s next okay let’s talk about some free fonts so if you do a Google search here what I would start off
With is free fonts for commercial use so what you want to do is there’s lots of free fonts out there you don’t want to download all of them what you want to make sure is that it’s free for
Commercial use because you’re gonna use it to make t-shirts online and sell it so that’s a commercial use not for personal use of course you can download personal use ones just for yourself but if you’re gonna put it on t-shirts and sell it online you’re gonna want to look for these
Free fonts for commercial use and there’s a lot of them out there I’m gonna share with you some of my favorites that I found throughout the years and I posted these on an Instagram made the Sun I
Instagram post before if you’ve looked at that this is some of this contents very similar but wait till the end and I’ll show you some things that I didn’t put in the Instagram post and those
Will be very helpful as well but let’s go to Duff on free so I got a lot of my fonts that I shared on my Instagram post were from diff’ent free and if you’ve used fonts before on the internet or
Looked for free fonts before on the internet the font is one of the big ones that I use that I came across so lots of lots of fonts on here you can see there’s many many pages many many different
Fonts and they’re categorized here I like using you know there’s dingbats there’s mixed basic stuff so gothic modern is probably a good one too let me show you what I found here this is
My absolute favorite i if you seen my designs i’ve used this a lot i used it today on a design that i just did so nexus rust free font such a great fun look at this so very vintage big bold big
Slab serifs at least on this one there’s also different types there’s free five fonts here so the one that I use a lot is next up Russ slab black shadow you notice it also has a shadow on
There the first one here is the script which works really well with it I don’t use that a lot but they work great as a combo if you’re gonna use both of them I use this one next up Russ sans
Black so it’s very similar it doesn’t have the seraphs the big slab serif it’s just a sans font but has that nice homemade rustic look again they have this next arrests handmade extended for just writing so it kind of works together you might want to be careful with these what you want to
Do when you find fonts for for shirts you want them big and bold just to give some contrast you might want to use some smaller ones but be careful with it make sure people can read it that’s very
Important for a t-shirt and here look at this this is a nice extra just some graphics on here with this font so this gives you kind of a look on how you can use all those littles together looks
Really good here’s some other examples so just a nice phone and you can see how how it has that look that vintage look that I like and people like when they buy t-shirts so and this is what
You want to look for when you’re looking for other fonts on this site license personal and commercial use so be looking for that so the next font I want to tell you about is this one it is called
Bernie air this is a font family as well this one has three different styles and we’ll scroll down and look at this but this is Bernie air nice nice bold fun again but this one’s not as
Wide this one’s more tall than white so these are great for longer words and you see here the three different styles you have that regular style you have this distressed style which is really nice and then you also have that drop shadow shade style they’re calling it and what’s neat about
This is in uppercase this font has this little extra notch or kind of sticks out you’ll see it here in this example it’s using all the caps so kind of nice makes it different stands out makes
Your makes your design stand out if you use this font nice vintage again kind of look and feel for those again personal and commercial use so you’ll see that make sure you look for that that’s one
Of my favorites Bernie air I use that quite a bit then there’s this one it is called intro intro is a free font here on this site this is what it looks like there’s two versions this is intro
Inline so a big bold font like I like these big bold fonts on t-shirts again this one has an inline already in there you could put in line and some of yours if you other fonts if you want
To but this one already has it in there so that’s really nice so you don’t have to do that and this one doesn’t so you can use both of them together you’ll see here in this example this is using all
The in lines so that’s how it kind of looks this one’s kind of using a mix of the in line and not in line and this one has just the one that doesn’t have the in line so good examples of how it looks
Together with words stacking them you can see they’re very easy to read it’s a nice big bold font again great for t-shirt design and personal and commercial use so perfect another font from
Here I got two more on the font free I found this one recently I haven’t used it a bit because I just found it for the post that I talked about that I did on Instagram you can see here personal
And commercial use Hansen this one’s a wide font again both again but not more wide than the other fronts we had great for smaller words like they’re showing here code and it comes up upper lower case
Numbers punctuation nice I think this is a nice one that you can add to your library of free fonts and again says right here personal and commercial use so there you go had that last one here that I
Found on the font free when I was looking is called crafter so I haven’t used this one a lot but I downloaded it because it was free and I liked it it has that handmade look right kind of
Rough edges you can see here this one X and it’s called rough so you can see the inches here I’ll zoom in look at that nice rough edge where this one has kind of a clean edge so nice nice I like
The different styling you can see on there are and the and the q kind of a little different and you normally will see on fonts and nice vintage look when you put them all together works well and a arc here great fun great fun for t-shirt design and personal and community commercial use
Again so this one’s free forever add that to your list of free fonts so those are the ones I found on the font free there’s a whole bunch more and just make sure when you look at it some of them
Are for personal use but make sure you want to get the commercial use if you’re going to design for t-shirts need that commercial use one site that I found when I was looking for free fonts
Was this one I’ve never heard of this before I did the post but I like it it’s called the League of movable-type and they’re here to help with fonts as well and these are free and some of them are
Great for you know books or texts or content but some of these are good for our t-shirts too so let me show you two that I like from this page here the first ones called chunk and just like the
Name is it’s kind of a chunky fawn it has those big slab Sara’s like we saw an X a big bold font great for you know anything sports related or workout related or anything where you want to
Make a bold statement this is a good font for that on t-shirts so it’s free and people have used it then you can see examples here how they look together great font up or upper and lower
Case which you don’t always get with some of these big funds but nice let me show you another one on this site it is called League oh no this one Oh League gothic let me click on that nice big bold
Font again this one’s a sans font there’s no serif so sans serifs a nice big tall again like we said when we saw some of the other ones this one’s a bold and taller so I would use these for longer
Words you can see how it works really well for this two words together still doesn’t take up as much space I’m walking like a wider font would so great font for designing on t-shirts I love
This font Nicola Gothic so so those were the ones that I shared on my Instagram post now we’re at the point where I’m going to show you some of the things that I didn’t put on the Instagram
Post and here’s one thing that I like to tell people about when we do the font Fridays and stuff like that there are a lot of designers out there that do typography or design typography
Design fonts for a living and here’s just one of them there’s one example I pulled out Adam that I highlighted his font before on on some of my post you might have seen some of these neato and zoom
Zoomy guess that’s how it’s called and so he’s got a lot of cool fonts here but if you go to his site Adam Ladd or lad – design.com you’ll see oh let me go to say so you’ll see all his fonts here great
Great work I love his fonts but if you go to the top here it says free fonts so if you sign up for his new that newsletter he’ll give you free fonts for commercial use right here says the fonts are
Free for both commercial and personal use and this is just one of many I don’t know if all of them do that but you can certainly check on different people who do typography for a living and look
At these these are big bold fonts and work perfect for a t-shirt design this is why I’m highlighting this one cheddar gothic stencil config ultra and then he also gives you this garlic salt extras which are dingbats and you can see here their banners and different things you could use in
T-shirt design as well so what a great asset for a t-shirt design here by going here not only is does he have fonts but he has these free ones and this cheddar gothic I really like the stem so
Look we didn’t see that in some of the other free fonts it can really stand out and make your make your t-shirts stand out with this this font here because it has such a nice nice look this would
Be great again I’m thinking for a workout shirt or short like that kind of more sports kind of sure it would be good on that another place that you can look for free fonts on that I found is font
Spring and here’s just one example so we talked about intro before this is intro rust free so the same same intro but just with a little more whether King or rust they call it so that helps
You it helps it stand out if you go here buying options you’ll see here create commercial graphics documents and products for re so commercial use you know explicitly saying but that’s that’s what it means or you create commercial graphics and you can do it just free so another good fun
Again big bold this one’s in mind and love it not that fun another place you can look here this is my last one but there’s lots of other place but this is my last tip here font space you
Can see they have an actual tab here that says commercial use so free fonts for commercial use that’s right zero licensing fees use it as many commercial projects as you want so you know some
Fun fonts here like these are big and bold and so nice big bold fonts I like this evil empire that’s kind of nice so just look there’s four pages we’re not gonna go through all of them
Like maybe I mean let’s go solo that’s a nice big bold orange font here seeing some good ones let’s go oh there’s more than four look at that let’s see wow I mean you might want to stay away from
Mickey Mouse even though that’s free don’t put that on a t-shirt for rich by Amazon so yeah so it keeps going it’s not it’s not four pages it’s more than four pages it keeps going so I’m not
Gonna look at all of them but you can see there’s lots of fonts for commercial use so those are my tips for today for the free fonts for commercial use for designing t-shirts design your t-shirts

wow, nice video Juna, thank you for showing your fonts!! =)
Been following on Insta for a bit and now I'm loving the videos. Thank you!
Best content. Should definitely have more subscribers.
Hi I recently found you via ryan hogue- you share good info- I’m a newbie to the pod world and was curious what you used as a mock generator- do you buy the mock photos or use place it? I’m trying to figure out the best way to go! I’ve heard flat lays sell the best vs having a model. I’m currently only using Canva and over app but keeping notes moving forward!
really helpful tutorial. please continue more and more
You are so nice! Great video!!
This video is gold. No lie, I spent an hour looking for similar fonts and they were all expensive. I go into YouTube and your video comes up as suggested. This is one time when I don’t mind Google monitoring what I do and being responsive to it. 😂 Keep up the great work!
You are awesome! Thanks 🙂
Helpful, thanks
The pages of Free Fonts on Fontspace are well over 100. I got up 115.
Hey Juna ! Nice video. Could you tell me what font are you using for the thumbnail ? Thanks
Thanks
It's embarrassing to admit as a very experienced designer, but I am personally challenged by font pairing. In trying to make these typographic fonts that are popular, it takes me forever. I'd love it if you did a video on "top ten t-shirt font pairs" or some such.
Hi juna!
i really like the helvetica and adobe neue haasi unica, there are people who are using these and i have no idea how they are getting away with this! but i wish i could use these, i know that adobe give u the neue haasi as part of there libary but not sure about the licence terms on this!
i was looking for inspiration and i found this video. how did i miss this one? i love fonts.. still no inspiration tho. i think im burning out
I would love to see more videos like this. As a broke high school student, I am constantly looking for free ways to design products.
it's the 8th time I'm applying to merch, next time I'll use your referral 😉
Finding amazing sources from you guy! Thank you
Unfortunately, Intro Rust free is not free anymore((
Thanks for this video. Newbie here! Have you done one on how to choose the best font for the type/theme of your t shirt design?
Do you use affinity photo or affinity design for text based designs
Thanks for info; it's helpful. I'm just getting into learning more about typography, and these fonts have an aesthetically pleasing look, particularly the grungy styles that I tend to like.
This compilation is so good. Im a graphic designer as well and I knew most of these fonts, but I haven’t used them for years, Great reminder! keep up with the amazing content Juna. Love your energy!
Would I be able to make profit with these fonts without being sued in my t shirt business?
thank you
Good tips, thanks

Hi…
Can i use these fonts in my designs in freepik and shutterstock and sell it online?
I’ve been using font space but didn’t know they have free fonts for commercial use!
hey Juna thanks for the info about the fonts. I wonder why people not selling these fonts? Why they're giving it for free?
Thank you so much
Good video however when I tried that site Adam Ladd did not worked, even after I entered my information for newsletter did not allowed me to download any fonts.
Great list, thank you so much for sharing Juna. Some great ideas here

These fonts are no longer FREE for commercial use
Thank you for this. Although paid fonts are often great and worth the investment, I think we all love FREE fonts, so I appreciate your featuring the free stuff.
How many fonts should you have for print on demand
I think you are zen watercooler 😅
Can I use these fonts for on T shirt and sell the t-shirts?
