The license can be purchased either by the client directly or by the designer on the client’s behalf. In both cases, the license owner should be the client or organization using the fonts. The company size entered at checkout should also refer to the client, not the designer, studio, agency, or freelancer producing the work.
Can I use one license for multiple clients?
No. Each client requires their own license. A license purchased for one client may not be reused for another client, organization, or project.
Can I use trial fonts in a pitch or client presentation?
Yes. Trial fonts may be used for sketches, internal testing, pitches, proposals, and client presentations. They may not be used in final artwork, public-facing work, commercial work, or production files.
Can I send the fonts to a developer, printer, or collaborator?
Yes, when access is necessary for the licensed client’s project. They may use the fonts only for that client and project. They may not use the fonts for other clients, reuse them in unrelated work, or keep the files after their work on the project is complete.
Can I use the fonts for a logo or website?
Yes. Logo, identity, and website use are covered by a standard commercial license when the license is purchased for the client or organization using the work. For websites, use WOFF or WOFF2 files through CSS @font-face. OTF and TTF files are for desktop use and may not be served on the web.
Can the fonts be used for AI or machine-learning systems?
No. The fonts may not be used to train, test, build, or supply machine-learning systems, generative models, datasets, automated font-generation tools, or similar systems without prior written permission.What uses require custom licensing?
Custom licensing is required for apps, games, software, editable templates, design tools, eBooks, embedded digital products, broadcast, streaming, film, hardware, OEM use, merchandise systems, products for resale, large organizations, political or religious campaigns, or any use where font files may be redistributed, extracted, embedded, modified, or accessed by unlicensed users.
Current students may request a free license for non-commercial, self-initiated school projects during the duration of their studies. To request a student license, please email us from your school email address.
Do you offer nonprofit, cultural, or activist licenses?
Yes. We offer discounted licenses for registered nonprofit organizations and publicly funded, non-commercial cultural institutions. We may also provide free licenses for selected non-commercial activist, mutual aid, cultural, or community projects aligned with humane, anti-discriminatory, and ecologically centered values. Please get in touch with a short description of the project, context, funding, and intended use.
Can I modify the fonts myself?
No. You may not modify, rename, convert, reverse-engineer, decompile, trace, recreate, or create derivative fonts from the font software without prior written permission. If you need changes to a typeface, we offer customization as a separate service.Can you customize the fonts?
Yes. We offer custom adaptations of our retail typefaces alongside bespoke typeface and logo design. This may include expanded language support, additional symbols or glyphs, modified OpenType features, new weights or styles, or adjustments for a specific identity, publication, website, institution, or technical environment.
I’m not sure what license I need. What should I send?
Please send the typeface name, the client or organization, the intended use, the expected scale of the project, and where the fonts will appear.
