Our most popular licenses
Desktop
A Desktop License is the most common type of font license, covering most commercial uses. It allows you to create graphic designs (e.g., logos, signs) and physical products (e.g., mugs, t-shirts) for yourself or clients. You can sell these products for profit, provided the letters aren't the main selling point (e.g., house numbers, stamp sets). This license is typically limited by the number of users, referring to how many individuals will use the font. Embedding fonts is generally prohibited under this license, with exceptions like PDF reports. All licenses on our site are perpetual, meaning you pay once and can use the font indefinitely.
Usage Scope:
- Typically restricts the number of users or devices on which the font can be installed. It's essential to ensure compliance with the specified user count.
- Generally prohibits embedding fonts into digital mediums like websites or applications. Separate licenses may be required for such uses.
- Often offered as a one-time purchase, granting indefinite usage rights under the agreed terms.
By obtaining a Desktop Font License, you ensure legal and appropriate use of fonts in your offline projects, maintaining the integrity and quality of your designs.
Web Font
A Webfont License allows you to embed a font directly into your website's code using CSS. This enables visitors' browsers to temporarily download and display the font as part of your site’s design. It’s ideal for maintaining brand consistency across web experiences. Webfont licenses are typically limited by monthly pageviews, which refer to how many times your website is loaded by users. All licenses on our site are perpetual, meaning you pay once and can use the font indefinitely.
Usage Scope:
- Intended specifically for use on websites, enabling fonts to be embedded via CSS @font-face declarations.
- Licensed based on monthly pageviews, with scalable options depending on expected traffic volume.
- Not permitted for desktop design use, mobile apps, eBooks, or embedded applications — those require separate licenses.
By obtaining a Webfont License, you ensure the font renders properly for your audience while staying compliant with licensing terms.
Application
An Application License permits embedding font files directly into your application's code, enhancing versatility and speed by reducing reliance on images.
This license is typically governed by the number of "Monthly Active Users" (MAUs) but covers unlimited applications, platforms, sales, and upgrades. All our licenses are perpetual, requiring a one-time payment for indefinite use.
Usage Scope:
- Covers embedding fonts into apps across desktop, mobile, and tablet platforms.
- Governed by the number of Monthly Active Users (MAUs); ensure proper tier selection.
- One license allows use across unlimited apps and platforms under the same organization.
By obtaining an Application License, you ensure fonts are embedded legally within your apps, allowing seamless user experiences across all platforms while staying fully compliant.
Digital Ads
A Digital Ads License covers the use of fonts in online advertisements across display networks, social media platforms, streaming services, and more. This includes static and animated ads. It ensures compliance with font distribution restrictions when deployed at scale. All licenses are perpetual, so you pay once for unlimited usage within your ad campaign’s scope.
Usage Scope:
- Allows use of fonts in banner ads, video ads, HTML5 ads, and more.
- Fonts cannot be redistributed or extracted; they must be flattened into the design.
- Covers unlimited impressions under standard use, unless otherwise specified.
- One-time purchase covers the duration of the ad campaign indefinitely.
By obtaining a Digital Ads License, you ensure fonts are used legally and effectively in advertising, supporting brand consistency without violating usage restrictions.
Server
A Server License allows fonts to be installed on a remote server so they can be used to generate dynamic content such as personalized PDFs, previews, or custom products. It enables rendering of font-based assets on the server side. This license is typically based on Monthly Active Users (MAUs) who interact with the service. All server licenses are perpetual.
Usage Scope:
- Supports use of fonts in tools where dynamic text rendering is done server-side.
- Governed by MAUs who access the functionality, not just pageviews.
- Required for font use in personalization tools, configurators, and on-demand services.
- Central server installation allows distribution of rendered assets without sharing font files.
By obtaining a Server License, you ensure fonts are properly licensed for backend systems that generate dynamic content, allowing flexible and scalable personalization without exposing font files.
E-book/Publishing
An Ebook License allows fonts to be embedded in digital publications like ebooks, PDFs, magazines, and other downloadable or interactive reading formats. This ensures the font appears consistently across different devices and platforms. Licensing is typically based on the number of titles where the font will be used. All ebook licenses are perpetual.
Usage Scope:
- Covers embedding fonts in EPUB, MOBI, PDF, or other electronic publication formats.
- Licensing is based on the number of unique publication titles.
- Fonts are embedded securely to prevent unauthorized extraction.
- Allows wide distribution across platforms like Kindle, Apple Books, and more.
By obtaining an Ebook License, you ensure fonts are embedded legally and consistently across digital publications, protecting both design integrity and licensing compliance.
