Community & Upload Guidelines
Last updated
LettersFonts is built by the people who share fonts on it. These guidelines keep the library useful and lawful for everyone. They apply to every upload and every account, and they sit alongside our Terms and Copyright policy.
Who can contribute
Anyone with a registered account can upload a font. By contributing you agree to these guidelines and to our Terms of Service. You keep ownership of what you upload; you grant LettersFonts the right to host and display it so the community can find and download it.
What you may upload
Only upload a font if at least one of these is true:
- You created it and hold the rights to share it; or
- It is freely licensed (for example under the SIL Open Font License, a Creative Commons licence, or a public domain dedication) in a way that permits redistribution.
Upload complete, working files (TTF or OTF) and add honest, useful details: the correct name, categories, tags and — most importantly — the licence.
Declare the licence accurately
Every font must carry accurate licence information. State the licence type, whether commercial use is allowed, and the designer or foundry where you know them. Do not mark a restricted font as free, and do not strip or alter a licence to make a font look more permissive than it is. Accurate licensing is the single most important thing you can get right — people make real design decisions based on it. If you are unsure how a licence works, our licensing guide can help.
What is not allowed
- Fonts you do not have the right to share, or that infringe someone's copyright or trademark.
- Pirated or “cracked” commercial fonts, or paid fonts re-listed as free.
- Files containing malware, or archives disguised as font files.
- Misleading metadata — wrong designer credits, fake licences, or spammy names and tags.
- Hateful, harassing or otherwise unlawful content in names, descriptions or specimens.
How we moderate
We review contributions and may edit metadata, re-categorise, or remove uploads that break these guidelines. We may act on reports from the community and from rights holders. We aim to be fair and to explain removals where we can, but we keep the final say over what stays in the library.
Reporting a problem
If you find a font that infringes copyright, follow our copyright & DMCA process so we can act on a proper notice. For anything else — a wrong credit, a broken file, spam or abuse — email info@lettersfonts.com with a link to the font and a short description.
Consequences
Uploads that break these guidelines may be removed. Accounts that repeatedly break them — in particular by uploading infringing material — may be suspended or terminated, in line with our repeat-infringer policy. By contributing to LettersFonts you acknowledge and accept these guidelines.
