One of the best fonts for Japanese characters. Has the widest range of compatibility.
confused on the usage. first sentence says for personal and commercial. second one says personal and non commercial. would like clarification asap. would like to use for commercial if possible. thank you.
Hi, my bad. It’s free for commercial works.
This font is listed under “Commercial-use OK”, but this page says “Free for personal and non-commercial projects”. I clicked the download link, and that page says “These fonts are licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0. You can use them in your products & projects – print or digital, commercial or otherwise.”, so I guess it is wrong that this page has “non-commercial”.
Hi Cat, you’re right and it’s a typo. Thanks for pointing it out!
