Questions

Are these old english fonts really free for commercial use?

Yes. Every font on this page carries a verified open licence (SIL OFL, Apache 2.0, UFL, MIT, or CC0) that permits commercial use: client work, logos, products for sale, web and app embedding. The licence is shown on each font's page along with what it permits in plain language.

Do I need to credit the designer when I use these fonts?

No. None of these licences require attribution in your designs. The only obligation that ever applies is keeping the licence file with the font if you redistribute the font files themselves.

How do I preview a font with my own text?

Use the field at the top of the list. Type your word or phrase and every font on the page re-renders instantly with your text. The size control sets how large the specimens are drawn.
