# FontPixel > A collection of freely licensed pixel and bitmap fonts, with font previews, downloads, character coverage reports, and bitmap font tooling documentation. Font pages describe the font family, authors, provenance, available sizes, character coverage, and its own license. The MIT license covers the site code, not every font. Follow each font’s license and attribution requirements. The catalogue and font pages are statically rendered. Search and comparison run in the browser. Documentation is in English; the catalogue is available in six languages. ## Catalogue - [English catalogue](https://fontpixel.com/en/): Browse fonts and follow static pagination to individual family pages. -
