Love the font on this site. Looks like you can find it here: https://brailleinstitute.org/freefont https://brailleinstitute.org/freefont

  Indeed, it sadly looks like it comes with some custom non-commercial license though [1], rather than something more standard like the SIL Open Font License [2]. Feels like an odd choice for a non-profit entity, but non-commercial clauses tend to creep in with good, idealistic intentions as it can be difficult for those new to open/free culture to realise how hairy and counterproductive they can be in the end.

    I don’t know if this is correct. I’m getting Atkinson Hyperlegible from Google Fonts and it seems to allow commercial use: https://github.com/googlefonts/atkinson-hyperlegible/blob/main/OFL.txt https://github.com/googlefonts/atkinson-hyperlegible/blob/ma...

      I think you are correct. What probably happened is that I read the license wrongly when it started talking about “sales” (FSF apparently has a note related to this “oddity” [1]). Having a second look at it, I now think it looks a lot like the SIL Open Font License. Thank you, I stand corrected.
