Terms and fair use

HeyMadeFonts is free to use without an account. These terms keep it that way for everyone. Last reviewed: 9 November 2026. Operator: to be named before public launch.

Fonts

The fonts are made by their designers and published under open licences (SIL Open Font License 1.1, Apache License 2.0 or the Ubuntu Font Licence 1.0). Your use of a font is governed by its licence, which is linked from every font page and included in every download. HeyMadeFonts adds no extra conditions and grants no extra rights. Font names may be Reserved Font Names under the OFL. Check the licence before you modify or rename a font.

The CSS API and font files

  • You may link the CSS API and font files from any website or app, including commercial ones.
  • Font file URLs are immutable: the address changes when the file changes. Keep using the CSS URL rather than hard-coding file URLs.
  • Don't use the service to proxy, mirror or bulk-download the catalogue. Use the download archives or the upstream repository instead.
  • We provide the service as it is, without a guaranteed level of availability. For critical sites, consider self-hosting; our self-hosting guide shows how.

The website scanner

  • Only scan public websites that you own, operate, or have a legitimate reason to check, such as a client's site.
  • Each scan fetches one page and its stylesheets. Limits apply: 20 scans per hour per visitor and 10 per hour per website. Don't try to get around them, automate the form at scale, or use the scanner against infrastructure you don't control.
  • Results are an automated snapshot of one page and are not legal advice or a compliance verdict.
  • Website owners who don't want their site scanned can tell us at [email protected].
  • We may switch the scanner off, block abusive use and delete reports at any time.

If the service changes or ends

If we ever need to stop the free CDN, we will announce it on this site at least six months in advance. Published font files and CSS will keep working during that period, so you can switch to self-hosting with the download archives. This is our policy, not a promise to run the service forever.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, the service is provided without warranties, and we are not liable for indirect losses resulting from its use or unavailability. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
