Scarlettt's Graphical Wonders

✩tutorial//downloading fonts✩

So this is a tutorial on how to download free fonts from a free website. It's very simple and helps you find any font you like to use for non-commercial use unless it states that it is 100% free, which in that case, you can use the font without a license. But on wattpad, it wouldn't be commercial use, hence why I'm recommending this as it wouldn't get you in any legal trouble.

It is also the same for any image. If you don't want to use it for wattpad and wish to use it for a published book, then you'd have to use royalty free images and fonts, unless you buy a license. Which I believe the standard license only allows for 500K copies sold... I'm not too familiar about that stuff.

So we begin!

First, these are the apps that I use:

Everything except for Superimpose X is free (Superimpose X costs $4.99 and it is honestly an amazing price for such a wonderful app that allows a whole new door of graphic designing for you designers out there).

The one that's circled (Photofy) is where I primarily use to add fonts to images.

Next you go to dafont.com

And once you decide on a font, there's a download button that you click/tap on.

And this page pops up. In which you click/tap to open it in zip viewer, which is an app that's free. In fact, it doesn't have to be that specific app, it just needs to allow you to view zip files on your phone.

Now that you've found the font on the zip viewer, you usually see these type of things. There's always information for buying a license (unless it's 100% free as stated on dafont.com)

And usually, there's either TTF or OTF which are both different softwares for the font. Now in our case, it doesn't matter if it's OTF or TTF as this only applies to when you're downloading it on your computer. We're using mobile, so we're all set! Sometimes, there will be both types, which you only need to download one.

And often times, there's an image or images on the file that just showcase the font, as shown on the third file in the file overall.

But once you click/tap on the TTF or OTF font, this will show up:

Sometimes, the symbol is at the top, which it doesn't matter. You just need to click/tap on it.

And finally, once you click/tap on the symbol, this appears. In which you copy it to Photofy and you're all set!

That's the end of the tutorial for downloading free fonts for non-commercial use only unless stated otherwise.
