Ondine & Ondine-Like

Error: JavaScript is needed to render this site: please enable it.

Ondine and Ondine-like fonts are unfree for commercial use, and free only for personal use. Unlike other pages in this section, therefore, this page can only list fonts which are unfree for commercial websites.

Website Developer Notes

A font marked with a checkmark (‘ ✓’) is recommended.

Only use so-called ‘free’ fonts if the fonts are free for commercial use.

Note that downloadable web fonts can’t be created from all fonts.

Only use a great classic font which is clear and legible in display media. Note: be especially careful of serif fonts, which are often less legible than sans-serif fonts in body text.

You may not charge for a free font, and you may not sell it, but you may bun­dle it with a website you deliver.

Fantasy text here says that the sample‘s font isn‘t installed.

This tries to list fonts with weights 400, 600, 700, and either 800 or 900. Fonts lacking these weights are inflexible for body text; fonts lacking bold and a heavier weight can be especially inflexible for header text unless the regular font itself is heavy. Exception: intricate heavy fonts are adequate with only 1 weight.

Notable fonts include:

Note: for-pay fonts often offer more glyphs.

Caution: Ondine-like fonts may have limited character sets; make sure your font has all the characters you need.

Caution: Ondine-like fonts work best at large font sizes.

Recommended

I recommend Ondine, the original, with a large number of glyphs. A good alternative is Odana, with perhaps better kerning.
