Tips for using Lobster
- 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.
Great for
Logos and wordmarks
