The FONTLIBRARY (originally called the Open Font Library) is a project devoted to hosting and encouraging the creation of fonts released under Free Licenses.[4][5] It is a sister project to Openclipart[3][2][6] and hosts over 6000 fonts from over 250 contributors.[7] These are intended to be downloaded, remixed and shared freely.[8]
In May 2024, FONTLIBRARY announced the new tagline "Free Fonts Forever".[5] Also, the project announced challenges with artificial intelligence overwhelming the project and a strategy for how to work with artificial intelligence technology and fonts.[1]
In January 2024, FONTLIBRARY posted news that they have adopted Nostr for communications.[9] Also, the project announced that the codebase is being rewritten due to the core technology Aiki Framework being in disrepair since the execution of its founder, Bassel Khartabil.[10] A new logo is also in the works to mark the change.[11] Also, the project rebranded itself FONTLIBRARY.[5]
