Tips for using Lobster

Keep OFL rules clear and script specimens useful.
  • 01

    Free for commercial projects

    OFL covers paid and client work—just do not sell the font files as a standalone product.

  • 02

    Respect the Reserved Font Name

    If you modify Lobster, do not release the derivative under the name Lobster.

  • 03

    Prefer short display lines

    Lobster shines in logos and titles more than long body paragraphs.

  • 04

    Keep License.txt when sharing

    If you redistribute the font package, include License.txt and Readme.txt.
