Is Abril Fatface free for commercial use?

Yes. Abril Fatface is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.

Can I use Abril Fatface in a logo?

Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Abril Fatface belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to TypeTogether. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.

How do I install Abril Fatface?

Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 1 font file inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up.

Does Abril Fatface support Turkish?

Yes. Abril Fatface includes the characters Türkçe needs that plain Latin does not — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ, ş, ü, ö and ç in both cases. This was checked against the font file itself, not assumed from the fact that it covers Latin.

What languages does Abril Fatface support?

Abril Fatface covers Latin, Latin Extended and Turkish, across 425 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.

Where can I download Abril Fatface as WOFF2?

From the WOFF2 button on this page — the file is abril-fatface.woff2, and it is about 20 KB. It is the complete font repacked for the web rather than a cut-down copy: the same glyphs, the same spacing and the same hinting as the .ttf in the download, roughly 60% smaller. Every browser still receiving updates reads WOFF2, so it is the only web format most sites need. Google Fonts does not offer this file for download at all — it serves WOFF2 from its own servers and gives you .ttf if you ask for the family.

Abril Fatface

TypeTogether · TypeTogether · 2011 · OFL-1.1

A fat face in the nineteenth-century sense: hairline serifs set against very heavy stems, a contrast invented to shout across a printed advertising poster. It is the loudest member of the larger Abril family. Below roughly forty pixels the thin strokes disappear entirely, so treat it strictly as titling and never as text.

Made in your browser from the WOFF2 above — nothing is uploaded. The .ttf is the same font, though not the same bytes as the original: the exact file Google published is in the zip. Abril Fatface is not offered as .otf because that would mean redrawing every outline rather than repacking the file.
