What is the Academy font?
Academy was designed circa 1910 at the Berthold type foundry (St.-Petersburg). It was based on Sorbonne (H. Berthold, Berlin, 1905), which represented the American Type Founders rework Cheltenham of 1896 (designers Bertram G. Goodhue, Morris F. Benton) and Russian typefaces of the mid-18th century. A low-contrast text typeface with historical flavor. The modern digital version was designed at Poligrafmash type design bureau in 1989 by Lyubov Kuznetsova. Corrections and additions were done later in ParaType in early 2000th. Reworked version with Bold Italic style was released in 2009.

You're probably thinking - Is Academy available to Download for free?
The short answer is no. Academy is definitely not available as a free download font. This is a premium font which mean that you will have to pay to download and use it in your project. We showcase fonts on SharedFonts that are almost all premium fonts. Feel free to waste valuable hours of your time searching for a free download of Academy, but take it from me, you will not be successful in your quest. Just think how much time and effort you will save if you just pay for Academy and be done with it.
It is always best to pay for a premium font rather than trying to find an illegal download. The benefits of paying for Academy is that you get the license to use it leagally. If you're using an illegal version of Academy and you get caught, you or your client could get into some trouble legally with the publisher of Academy.
Also it is highly unlikely that you'll be able to find Academy for free. Doing various searches on Google such as "Free Academy Download" you will see a lot of websites that will say "Free Download" but these are just attempts to get you to click on a link which will either take you to an ad landing page or you risk getting viruses on your computer. In the rare occasion that you do find a free download for Academy remember that it's illegal to use a font if you didn't pay for it!
