> [!hint] Learning from past mistakes > I used to have two folders `Free` and `Paid` but it soon became a nightmare to keep track of font licences. I didn't like the idea of having duplicate file structures for each kind of licence either, so this is how I've set things up now. ## Folder Structure Only add more specific subfolders when needed. ``` Fonts ├── Serif │ └── Slab Serif ├── Sans Serif ├── Display ├── Blackletter ├── Script │ └── Handwriting ├── Monospace └── Decorative └── Symbols ``` ## Folder Name Folder name should include the licence type e.g. - 📁(OFL) Open Sans - 📁(Personal) SomeFont Demo - 📁(Desktop) PaidFontName - 📁(Web) SuperCoolFont - 📁(ePub) IReallyLikeFontsOkay The licence and invoice (where possible) should be stored within the folder. ## File Management Further sorting/searching can be applied with tags using a file manager like Eagle for properties like: `bold`, `thin`, `heavy`, `playful`, `elegant`, `textured`, `art-nouveau`, `medieval`, `distressed`, `pixel`, `outline`, `latin`, `latin-extended`, `foundry-name`, `store-name` or to add a link to where it was purchased from. Only activate/install fonts that are likely to be used - the rest can be viewed / enabled in the file manager.
