Font Bros vs Fontspring

Font Bros is a storefront for display typefaces used in logos, websites, apps, videos, and other design projects. Its library contains over 44,400 styles, browsable by categories including serif, sans serif, handwritten, script, monograms, and special effects. Fonts are offered in OpenType; TrueType is included when supplied by the foundry, and other or legacy formats can be requested. Font Bros says its OpenType fonts work on Macintosh OS X and Microsoft Windows. Most fonts can be licensed for website embedding with CSS @font-face, with webfont files delivered after ordering. A desktop license allows installation on up to two computers per licensed end user, not for simultaneous use. The EULA permits company logo and professional design work under the relevant license terms. Some specialized embedding, such as in software, eBooks, or broadcast, may require an upgrade; per-order personalized resale products also require an additional license. Free fonts are available, and paid options start at $15 one-time.

Fontspring distributes font licenses for desktop, website, ebook, and application use. Its off-the-shelf licenses are perpetual; fonts can be used across as many projects as desired without an annual fee, though usage depends on the selected license. Many fonts have free demo versions that can be installed with a reduced character set for testing and comps. Fontspring reviews licenses and uses a Worry-Free badge to indicate that common expected rights are covered. Worry-Free web licenses include unlimited domains without pageview tracking.
