All nice to type fonts are free to use for students working on non-commercial school or university projects. If the fonts are used in a commercial context or for professional work, a standard licence is required.

How it works

1. Download the free trial fonts of your choice and test them in your project.
2. Review your work within your course.
3. Like the typeface? Simply fill out the request form below.
4. Receive the licensed fonts, replace the trials, and publish your project wherever you like.
5. (Feel free to tag nice to type on Instagram. I’m always happy to share student projects.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Why request a Student Licence if the trial fonts include the full character set?
→ Trial fonts are for testing and review only. A Student Licence is required to officially use and publish your work, including final presentations.

What can I do with the free trial fonts?
→ They may be used in design software and printed for review in your course, but not for public sharing. Once you have obtained a Student Licence, your project can be published.

Can the trial fonts be used properly?
→ Yes. Trial fonts include the full character set and all OpenType features. The ‘Trial’ suffix in the font name and the modified copyright symbol simply indicate that they are for evaluation purposes.

When should I switch from the trial to a Student Licence?
→ As soon as you decide to use a nice to type typeface in your project, you can request a Student Licence.

How long is the Student Licence valid?
→ The Student Licence is valid for the duration of your studies. After graduation, your existing work may still be shared and published.
