Why Public Type Works now? The license (there’s only one, regardless of usage) is ridiculously simple and empowering. PLUS, a purchase from Public Type Works helps each typeface reach a goal in hopes of becoming an open source project. And here’s one style from those ten most recent, for free. Commissioned fonts are not included in this list above. My free work is available from a variety of places including Google Fonts / Etcetera Type Co. – Many are already available in Figma.
