Font licenses
We offer three kinds of font software licensing to cover the overwhelming majority of use cases. Our licensing focuses on the individuals using the font software, rather than the number of computers, webpage views, or applications. Our license tables are tiered to reflect the scaling needs of clients, based on the numbers of users they have internally (for Standard licensing), and externally (for Web and App licensing.)
Standard licensing
- Fonts are sold as Software as a Service in OpenType (.otf) and TrueType (.ttf) formats.
- Pricing is based on the total number of users of the fonts.
- Permits the installation of the font software on desktop/laptop computers and/or access to the fonts via a font server.
- Permits use of the fonts in desktop/laptop software, such as Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, PhotoShop, etc.), Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), and other software applications.
- Provides the fonts for research, development, and production of tangible personal property.
- Allows use of the fonts to create still or moving graphics to appear in printed matter, motion graphics, web graphics, environmental graphics, advertising, broadcast, eBooks, PDFs, etc.
Web licensing
- Fonts are sold as Software as a Service in Web Open File Format, v1 & v2 (.woff & .woff2) formats.
- Pricing is based on the number of unique monthly visitors to the site(s) operated by the licensee.
- Provides the fonts for research, development, and production of tangible personal property.
- Permits installation of the fonts on web server(s) for display of dynamic text on websites using the @font-face tag in cascading style sheets (.css).
App licensing
- Fonts are sold as Software as a Service in OpenType (.otf) and TrueType (.ttf) formats.
- Pricing is based on the number of unique monthly users of the app(s) wherein the fonts are packaged.
- If monthly app user numbers are not available, then download numbers should be used.
- Provides the fonts for research, development, and production of tangible personal property.
- Allows for the fonts to be packaged within the code of software applications for iOS, Android, etc.
All licensing is a one-time cost for perpetual use. All licensing can be extended to cover additional users.
Any license purchases of single weights or weight pairs will be applied to license purchases of family collections.
