Font Licensing FAQ
What kind of license do I need?
Like any piece of software, fonts are licensed for specific uses. The
kind of license you need is determined by how you will be using the
fonts and what you will be using them to create. The most common
licenses are for using the fonts on a desktop computer to create
images and other static content, hosting them on your website as live
text via HTML and @font-face CSS, or embedding them in a mobile app.
Some slightly less common uses might be using fonts in on-air
broadcasts or including them in a video game.
-
A desktop license allows you to download and install the fonts on
your computer in any application with a font menu to create
graphic assets incorporating the font’s design, such as images
posted on social media, ads printed in a magazine, or a PowerPoint
presentation. The cost is determined by the specific fonts
licensed and the number of users who will need to install the
fonts on their computer.
-
A web license lets you serve the fonts on a website and use them
as live, dynamic text via HTML and @font-face CSS. The cost is
determined by the specific fonts licensed, the approximate number
of monthly page views the websites using the fonts receive, and
the length of the license in years.
-
An app license permits you to embed the font files in the mobile
app so that they are downloaded onto the end user’s phone or
tablet. The cost is determined by the specific fonts licensed, the
number of app titles that the fonts are embedded in, and the
length of license in years; note that the same app distributed on
multiple platforms would be covered by a single app license.
If licensing limitations and/or tracking metrics like users or page
views is impractical or impossible for your company, one solution
might be an enterprise license, which grants unlimited use of fonts
across all media and platforms. If you have questions about purchasing
an enterprise license — or need help determining what kind of license
you need — the fastest way to get assistance is by sending an email to
[email protected].
Where can I buy a license for your fonts?
For standard licenses, like desktop, web, or app use, the easiest and
fastest way to purchase a license is directly from this site. We are
also happy to arrange custom, extended, and enterprise licenses
directly with you. If you’d like to discuss those options, please send
an email to
[email protected].
How do I try out the fonts before I buy a full license?
If you are interested in a trial license for you or your company, for
example to use the fonts for internal design mockups or client
pitches, please send an email to
[email protected].
What if I need one of the fonts modified? Is custom type design
available?
Maybe you’ve tried or used one of these typefaces and it’s nearly
perfect for your project but it’s missing a little something, like
certain language support, or want it tailored to your brand. In these
cases, modification and customization options can be discussed. It
could be as simple as adding a few glyphs or as extensive as expanding
the typeface’s weight and width range. Also, one alternative is to
discuss an entirely new, custom typeface, which would give you total
control in defining the design to support your brand and needs. If
you’d like to discuss any of these custom design possibilities, please
send an email to
[email protected].
