FONT FREE

📖 What is FONT FREE?

A community-driven site that showcases and distributes free Japanese fonts. Browse by 8 typeface categories — kaku-gothic, mincho, handwritten-style, and designer fonts — or filter by supported character tags like hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Each font's page links straight to the source for download, with install guides for both Windows and Mac. Most fonts allow commercial use, but conditions vary (some restrict commercial use to personal projects), so check the license notes on each page before using a font in your stream thumbnails or logo.

💡 When to Use It

Great for when your stream thumbnail text still looks plain in the default font and you want something with more character. Pick handwritten-style for horror game streams, mincho for wafu-themed streams — matching the typeface to each stream's mood. Also handy for unifying the look of your channel logo, starting-soon screen text, and clip subtitles. Since commercial terms differ per font, make it a habit to check the license notes before using one on a monetized stream.

📋 Basic Info

🚀 How to Use

1. Step 1: On fontfree.me, narrow down fonts by one of the 8 typeface categories (kaku-gothic, mincho, handwritten-style, etc.) or by character tags like hiragana, katakana, and kanji.
2. Step 2: On the font's page, check the sample image, supported character types, and commercial-use terms (e.g. "commercial use OK" or "commercial use for personal projects only").
3. Step 3: Follow the link to the source site to download the font file (ttf/otf) and unzip it.
4. Step 4: On Windows, right-click the file and select "Install"; on Mac, add it to Font Book to install (the site has OS-specific guides).
5. Step 5: Restart your thumbnail tool (Photopea, Canva, Photoshop, etc.) and use the newly added font to create your stream title or logo.
