Curated Font Collection
Verification scope. The full historical quarantine hash inventory is unavailable. The baseline archive was checksum-verified and its payloads preserved; the new import was checked against the five retained blocked hashes. A full comparison of new payloads against all historical quarantine hashes remains unverified.
239,936 unique font binaries, extracted and organized into source/category/font folders. This combines the published 28 October 2026 snapshot with the Blambot and Comicraft Drive import and the Pixeldrain Fonts bundle on 29 October 2026. It does not claim that every nested archive in the original collection was recovered.
Download the tar.zst archive. It contains original fonts, available metric companions and existing license documents. Installers and raw source archives are excluded.

Sources include the 2018 Internet Archive compilation, Google Fonts, League of Moveable Type, Fontsource, direct DaFont and 1001fonts downloads, Scosh, the Reddit font bundle, the Blambot and Comicraft Drive collection, the Pixeldrain Fonts bundle, and an unidentified contribution labeled UNKNOWN.
Identical SHA256 bytes appear once. Upstream/official sources take precedence over direct site downloads and historical packs. Different binary versions remain distinct even when their font names match. This provenance preference is not a safety or licensing rating.
Use recent 7-Zip or a TAR extractor with Zstandard support:
mkdir fonts
tar --zstd -xf fonts.tar.zst -C fonts
Shared licenses use TAR hardlinks. An extractor that materializes those links as separate copies can need substantially more disk space; see extracted contents.
Existing license documents are preserved where available; terms differ and missing evidence remains unknown. Missing license documents do not exclude imported fonts. Previously verified payloads retain their existing scan basis and were not rescanned. The Drive import had 2,474 selected payload hashes scanned clean; the Pixeldrain import adds 1,993 newly scanned font hashes. All used ClamAV 1.5.4 with verified signed definitions. Scanning does not guarantee safety.
