Low budget or no budget? Go with these fonts. They are free and come with a commercial license. Do you need a third?
Previously, I talked (read: rant) a lot about buying font packs with complete licenses. At the end of the day, you end up paying only a few cents for each font. But even if that looks out of your reach, I have these 26 beautiful fonts with commercial licenses and complete font families.
*In no particular order:
26. One Day
One Day is a slim uppercase typeface designed by Nawras Moneer. It is fresh, modern, simple — it’s not too serious and has just the right amount of class.

23. Facunda
Here is another 3D font with a dark details. It comes with five different styles. Facunda is a tall, dark edged, sans serif font designed by Bu.
22. Alcubierre
If I had to use one font all my life, I would go with Alcubierre by Matt Ellis. Its thin, straight, geometric but not harsh, sleek but not too sharp, its minimalist look can go a long way depending on how you use it.

19. Atifa
It is an all-caps serif font with handwritten feel. The detailing is absolutely spot on. You can see the ink getting thicker and thinner with the pressure of the hand in different letters. Love the inconsistency!
18. Besom
Besom is created by KRISIJANIS MEZULIS & Gatis Vilaks. It’s a handwritten brush font with a quite nostalgic vibe. It just goes with all the polaroid-pictures, 90’s vibe theme you have in mind.

10. Verona Lotte
This hand-lettered, brush font is the reason why hand-lettered fonts look so beautiful. Zoom and see the inconsistency in letters, it does not look like a fake, made-up-to-look-like-handmade font. The roughness in the letters makes it ten times more elegant.
9. Salvador
With varying thickness, subtle handmade detailing, and the slight curve in each letter makes Salvador a constant favorite.

Joli is not everybody’s come of tea. This sky-scraper like structure of the font makes it a unique choice. It is extremely current and stylish. One can do wonders with it.

The unique think about Kano is the geometric edges. Rather than looking serious and straightforward, Kano has a quirky feel to it. Full marks for innovation!
4. Kirvy
This sans serif font family comes with four weights. It is straight and geometric with round, softer edges. Works perfect no matter what the scale is.
3. Selima
Another brush script typeface. It comes with rough edges which makes the lettering look super authentic. It’s a bit on the bold side, still it manages to maintain the elegant and delicate look.
