Is ufonts.com legit or a scam?
18-year-old font archive with two old malware complaints and free commercial font downloads.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Intelligence
The domain has operated since 2007 with clean current scans and no active blocklist hits. Forum posts from over a decade ago flagged virus warnings during downloads, though no recent complaints appear. The site hosts hundreds of thousands of fonts and lets users download commercial typefaces without payment. No business registration or owner details were located. The combination of an old domain with clean infrastructure yet persistent past malware reports places the site in the suspicious range.

Safety FAQ
Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- Our automated security review marked ufonts.com as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.
- ufonts.com currently scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
- Yes. ufonts.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 60 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

If circumstances around ufonts.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
