Typography Guides
Short, practical guides on installing, licensing and choosing fonts.
Four guides that answer the questions we get asked most often about the fonts in this directory.
Step-by-step font installation for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Google Docs and Canva, plus what to do when a font does not appear in your app.
What SIL OFL, personal-use-only and commercial font licences allow, how web and app embedding differ, and how to check a licence before a project ships.
How serif and sans serif fonts differ, what the readability research actually supports, and practical rules for choosing between them in print and on screen.
A practical method for font pairing: set the hierarchy first, look for contrast in structure, and test with real content rather than sample text.
