How to use free trial fonts to make your mock-ups more successful.
Nov 13, 2023

The problem with most free trial fonts is the limited character set; you only have access to uppercase, lowercase, figures, and some basic punctuation if you’re lucky.

But what about the ampersand? What about the accented characters, currency, math, and all the alternate characters that help us customize what we design for our clients? We are changing that by offering fully functional free trial fonts without character set limitations. This allows you to indeed ‘try before you buy.’

Before becoming a typeface designer, I owned and operated a graphic design studio. I would rely heavily on my selection of fonts in the Adobe font library or my system software because it was frustrating and time-consuming using free trial fonts that were so limited. The downfall of this was that everyone else was doing the same. I was constricting the typographic expression of my work and creating similar typographic solutions as others for competing clients.

Fully functional free trial fonts without character set limitations. 

We can visualize a project before we design it; we can see it in our heads. Most clients aren’t able to do this, that’s why they come to us. 

Proposing a typeface to a client without the ability to show them what it can do becomes a guessing game. We know how hard it is to get clients over the line without showing them what they will get.

Doing a mock-up for a website, packaging, or logo options without access to the full selection of characters and functionality of the typeface is very limiting.

How great would it be to build your client mock-ups with free trial fonts that include all bells and whistles? You can really express your ideas freely without having to do screen grabs from type testers and redraw them just for mock-ups that the client may not go for. Well, here’s how you can.

  1. Use our fully functional free trial fonts and break free of your tired library. 
  2. Buy a full commercial license for yourself and your client once you have client approval. 
  3. Install the fully licensed typeface and update your documents, replacing the free trial fonts.
