What it does

The League of Moveable Type publishes a free, open-source font catalogue under the Open Font License, with commercial use allowed. Family pages provide specimens, designer credits and download links. Courses, books and membership are separate from the free font collection.

The catalogue includes families such as League Gothic, League Mono, League Spartan and Raleway. Each entry shows its designer and available styles, so you can distinguish a single display style from a larger family before opening its specimen.

On a family page, use Download for the fonts, Source Code for the project and Open Font License for its terms. League Spartan, for example, also exposes character and OpenType-feature information. These details are useful when a heading needs particular punctuation, alternates or language coverage.

The League allows commercial use of its fonts under the Open Font License. Joining the newsletter or buying a membership is separate from obtaining the typefaces.
