Is the Terminator Font free to download?
Yes. terminator-real-nfi-font and TERMINAT-font are free to download on this page. Check each designer's terms before commercial use.
Is this the exact font used for Terminator?
Not exactly. The original lettering was custom drawn or is not publicly licensed, so the fonts here are close recreations. terminator-real-nfi-font is the nearest match we have found.
Can I use the Terminator Font commercially?
Treat that as two separate questions. The font file needs a licence that permits commercial use, which is set by whoever made it.
