Zeyada
A thin, loose, fast hand with long trailing exits and letters that barely touch — the writing of somebody signing a card rather than composing a letter. The strokes are fine enough that it needs size and contrast to survive; at 14px on a light grey it is gone. One weight.

Questions
- Is Zeyada free for commercial use?
- Yes. Zeyada 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 Zeyada in a logo?
- Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Zeyada belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Kimberly Geswein. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
- How do I install Zeyada?
- 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 Zeyada support Turkish?
- Yes. Zeyada 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 Zeyada support?
- Yes. Zeyada covers Latin, Latin Extended and Turkish, across 346 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
