Font licensing

A few years ago I created a font.

I would like it to be open and free for distribution. This is unusual because most fonts are paid for. I was faced with the problem of choosing a license for the font. Fonts have their own licenses, and they are not supposed to be free to distribute. It seemed appropriate to me to use a license that included the font as part of the software, because fonts are now electronic and used on websites.

In general, I would like to use the GNU General Public License v3.0 (+ Commercial use, + Distribution, √ License and copyright notice, √ Same license), but I haven't seen such cases, it doesn't seem to be common.
