Can you use Roboto Condensed in videos and commercial work?

Roboto Condensed is licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. Commercial use is permitted, including monetised video, paid client work and broadcast, at no cost and with no separate licence to buy. The one thing you cannot do is sell the font file itself.

The table above answers for Roboto Condensed as distributed by Google Fonts. This compares that against the other places the same face may reach you, because the source changes the rights. Full terms by source.

The catch worth knowing

The font software itself may not be sold on its own, and a modified version may not use the Reserved Font Name. Neither restriction affects using the font in a video, a thumbnail, a logo or a client project.

This is not legal advice. It is a plain-language reading of a published licence, dated 2026-08-12, and it links the primary text so you can check it. Licences change and bundled copies differ. If money or a trademark rides on the answer, verify against the licence that came with your copy, or ask the foundry.
