About Font Squirrel
Font Squirrel is a catalog of typefaces that the site describes as free and licensed, hand-selected for quality and for commercial use. Each listing shows the foundry, the number of styles, and a download link, with license details given for individual downloads.
The catalog can be browsed by classification, tag, language, foundry and curated lists such as Recently Added, Most Popular and Hot Web Fonts. Filters narrow results by license type, family size and download source, and results can be sorted alphabetically or by recency and popularity. Downloads are offered as TTF or OTF, and some fonts are hosted offsite, so the download happens on the foundry's or designer's own site. The site is ad-supported; a notice on the page asks visitors with ad blockers to disable them to see content from partners.
