What it does
Collletttivo publishes free, open-source fonts for personal and commercial projects. Its catalogue includes Apfel Grotezk, Sinistre and other independent families, with character previews and downloadable files. Each download includes the SIL Open Font License.
Apfel Grotezk’s family page illustrates the catalogue’s detail: choose a style, adjust Letter Spacing, Line Height and Font Size, then inspect the character table. Its details list Latin support, five styles and the version before the Download control.
Collletttivo permits use in printed and digital commercial work. It also allows studying and changing the font files, and redistributing original or modified versions under the Open Font License. Keep the bundled LICENSE.txt with redistributed files; the fonts cannot be sold on their own or relicensed under different terms.
The collective asks for the designer and foundry to be credited when work using its fonts is published. Donations are optional and support the catalogue and its related activities.
