What MyFonts is
MyFonts is an online marketplace for finding, licensing and downloading fonts. Its catalog includes more than 400,000 fonts from over 5,000 foundries and independent designers. Users can search by font name, classification or plain-language idea, then filter by styles, price, visual properties, foundry or language. A MyFonts account can download more than 900 free fonts, and an account is required even for free orders. AI Search takes a description of a project's mood, tone or intent and returns matching fonts with explanations. WhatTheFont uses image recognition to suggest licensable matches and is available on the web and as iOS and Android apps. Shoppers can preview fonts using custom text, adjust size and colors, and apply OpenType features before purchase. License options include Desktop, Webfont, Mobile App, Digital Ad and Electronic Doc, though availability varies by font. Desktop packages work on Mac OS X and Windows. Webfont licenses cover one domain; most foundries offer them annually with monthly pageview tiers. MyFonts has been founded in 1999 and describes its marketplace as open to foundries and designers selling fonts.
