Legal analysis: How to define the copyright of a font:

To determine whether a font is charged, you can call the font manufacturer, check online, etc.

2. Determine whether it is for commercial use. If all fonts are used for personal work display, participation in various non-commercial competitions and other non-commercial activities, the font manufacturer will not pursue copyright issues.

3. Determine whether the text is deformed and whether the text deformation exceeds 50. The above 50 is defined by laws and regulations and is very vague. Generally, fonts are deformed or characters are created in the design. Please pay attention to making the change as large as possible.

To sum up: if paid fonts are used for commercial purposes without purchasing the copyright, and there is little or no distortion, it involves infringement.
