![]() ![]() Is "" a good place to purchase fonts? I'm reading this article here: and its link to purchase a font goes to that site. Google fonts provide "Libre Caslon" and it looks good in Word document. I discovered that Caslon is also a good font for body text? (Never heard of this before). What do you guys to with your chocies regarding fonts for body text? What are great ( the best, for you) fonts to use for body text? And what are free fonts to use and what are fonts many people are willing to purchase?Īfter posting this, I began search on this topic, and am realizing this is a huge topic and has been discussed over and over in many venues. I somehow assumed the fonts that are default in MS Word are free to use for commercial purposes (and Georgia and Gararmond, not to mention TNR, are default, aren't they). So knowing little about fonts to begin with, I became more confused. About what fonts are free and good for body text, its response was: Libre Baskerville, Crimson Text, and some others. The same for Georgia, Garamond and Baskerville. I asked ChatGPT about whether Times New Roman is a free font and it says No, I need to have license to use it for commercial purposes. But then, it seems, strictly speaking, there aren't that many free fonts. If the font is indeed Minion and I should have license to use it for commercial purposes, I would consider going about it soon. So the Minion Pro (it's not one of the default fonts, I assume) I downloaded must be a demo, or pirated version, not the official, licensed version. And the search I've done let me know that Minion is not a free font. I added a number of fonts to the default fonts of Publisher but I did not add any font that requires license for commercial use. I opened my Publisher to see whether it has Minion. ![]() Is it Minion? (I tried to find out what font it is and was told that it is Minion). And the font used in the image below can be that font, it seems to me. I think it would be great to have one, single, font that would always be the first choice to consider for body text. But now that I'll be formatting for an actual book, I would like to know what font to settle on. I did all the practicing with a manuscript in Times New Roman. Hi Jo! Arialle can substitute Arial and Glacial Indifference looks pretty close to Future.Having done quite a bit of practicing, I am ready to do actual formatting for a paperback. Here is an example about finding that Arial replacement. Given organizations are much more responsive to service questions on social media, many people turn to Twitter to ask about a particular font. If the font isn’t an option, you might see a message like this as I did with Bembo.Īnother option I’ve found useful is checking Twitter. One, simply search for the font in Canva. If you have a font not on this list that you’d like to find an equivalent for, here are a couple of things to try. Font Canva Equivalent Arial Arielle or Arimo Baskerville Libre Baskerville Bembo EB Garamond Bodoni Bodoni FLF Calibri Carlito Cambria Droid Serif Didot GFS Didot Franklin Gothic Source Sans Pro Frutiger Open Sans Futura Josefin Sans Garamond EB Garamond Georgia Cardo Gotham Montserrat Helvetica Arimo Myriad Open Sans Rockwell Sanchez Sabon Crimson Pro Times New Roman Times Neu Roman Verdana PT Sans Finding Other Font Equivalents We’ll start with the most popular fonts in the world, while adding in others from pop culture, TV, movies, and more. While we’ve already talked about finding an Arial font in Canva, let’s dive into that and a lot more. Today we are looking at which fonts you know and love – and expect to find in Canva – can be replaced with close and near identical equivalents. From uploading your own fonts to finding equivalents to suit your project, it’s not a perfect process, but it’s at least one that’s available and more than suitable (especially in light of everything else the design platform has to offer). Of everything Canva offers, fonts always seem to be the biggest topic of conversation.
