Have a question about licensing?

Can I share my license with somebody else?

No, only under certain conditions. For example, if someone is working on behalf of your company (i.e. a design or advertising agency) you may share the fonts with them for the duration of the collaboration. If you want to share the fonts within a team or your friends, an individual desktop license must be purchased for each computer.

How do I prove I have a license?

The invoice that you receive after purchase is proof of a license. Make sure to enter the right license owner and domain when finishing your order.

What happens if I don’t have a lincese?

• If you don’t have a valid license, you are not legally allowed to use the font for any commercial or personal projects. Unauthorized use of a font—whether for branding, websites, apps, or printed materials—can lead to copyright infringement issues, legal consequences, and potential fines.
• To avoid this, always purchase the appropriate license for your intended use. If you’re unsure which license you need, review our licensing options or contact us for guidance.

What is the license duration?

The font license duration is determined by the type of licensing that you had purchased. It could be either Annual or Perpetual. The licensing is valid until the licensing parameters are not exceeded. When that happens you can contact us for a special discount on your next licensing update.
Annual Licenses: These licenses are valid for one year from the date of purchase. You can renew annually to continue using the fonts under the same terms.

Perpetual Licenses: With a one-time payment, these licenses grant you lifetime use of the fonts under the specified terms, without the need for renewal.

What is the difference between annual and perpetual licenses?

• Annual Licenses: These licenses are valid for one year from the date of purchase. You can renew annually to continue using the fonts under the same terms.
• Perpetual Licenses: With a one-time payment, these licenses grant you lifetime use of the fonts under the specified terms, without the need for renewal.

Which license types are available as annual or perpetual?
All our license types—except the Desktop License—can be purchased as either annual or perpetual. The Desktop License is always perpetual, ensuring you can use your fonts in design software without time limitations.
How are licenses selected by default on the Buy page?
By default, all products are added as annual licenses, except the Desktop License, which is automatically added as a perpetual license.
You can select the type of license on the product page or at check-out.

What happens if you use a font without buying a license? Is there a penalty for illegal use of a font?

Civil, administrative and criminal liability may ensue due to the illegitimate use of a font. In other words, it’s better to buy licenses for commercial fonts.

How does a Webfont license work?

Webfont licenses allow you to install our fonts on a web server and embed them in the code for your own websites. Our Webfont licensing is based on the monthly pageviews a website receives. 

Apart from specific restrictions that caome with each type of font licensing, when it comes to the font files You are not allowed:

⃠   to modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble without the font’s owner prior written consent;

⃠   to resell or redistribute without authorization from the fonts’ owner;

✓ You may, however, create any type of design, modify the vector outlines, create derivative works and visuals using the font itself.

What is an EULA?

EULA stands for End-User License Agreement. In it, you’ll find the conditions you agree to when purchasing a paid font or downloading a free one. This agreement states all types of licenses offered, along with any rules and limits you (and your client when working for hire) are bound to follow.

There are two types of user licenses that we offer:

1. Standard End-User License: issued with individual font purchases covering the most popular uses (Desktop, Webfont, App, ePub, etc.)

2. Custom End-User License: tailored to specific client needs and issued after a professional consultation and negotiations
