Our licensing philosophy is pretty simple: you pay for a font, and then you can use it. We don’t charge renewal fees or set time limits, we don’t require ongoing upgrades when your business grows, and we don’t demand add-ons for web, app, logo, or other use cases.
For most clients, the only metric you need is the size of your company. Larger businesses, with more resources and visibility, can derive more value from the same fonts, regardless of the number of individual installs or the size of the agency they hire — we therefore use the total employee count to estimate that value.
If you’re an agency or designer working for a client, only the client needs a license (in their name). You, along with any other subcontractors working for them, can use the fonts on their behalf at no extra cost.
We offer full, unrestricted trial fonts, so you can try our designs in context and test them thoroughly before making any commitments.
Trial fonts contain the same character sets and OpenType features as fully-licensed versions, but can’t be used in public or commercial work, or uploaded to the web.
If you’re a designer or agency, you’re allowed to use trial fonts in pitches and presentations to clients. If you’re a student, you can also use them in (non-commercial) projects as part of your studies.
Every company is different. While company size is usually a reliable starting point, we recognise that sometimes other factors need to be considered, particularly for larger organisations.
If your company employs more than 300 staff, or if our regular pricing doesn’t work for your situation, please get in touch for a tailored quote.
We’re happy to offer discounted licensing for academic institutions, charities, nonprofits, and projects in the cultural sector. Please reach out if you’d like to take advantage of this.
Fonts are software, which means rather than purchasing them outright, what you’re buying is the right to use them. That right, or license, is governed by a set of terms known as the License Agreement (sometimes called a EULA).
We design typefaces, but what we actually sell is font licensing, so our license agreement is a priority rather than an afterthought. It’s designed to be fair, transparent, and as readable as possible.
That said, if you’re unclear about any part of the licensing process, or you’d like us to explain any of our terms, we’re always happy to help.
Your client — the organisation commissioning the work, not the designer or agency creating it. As a designer, you only need your own license if you’re creating work for yourself.
As long as your license was valid when you bought it, it’ll remain valid forever.
The license you originally purchased will continue to apply, unless you choose to upgrade or download a newer version of the fonts.
If your existing license is our original V1 model, you can upgrade it to the more permissive V2 license terms — please send us a message if that’s the case.
If you have a Non-Commercial license for a font, we’ll continue to provide a discount for Commercial license upgrades equivalent to the amount you’ve already paid.
Although they’re no longer available to purchase, you can check the terms of our previous licenses here:
The current license version is V2.2.
Maybe. Some of our license terms can’t be modified, but we’re open to discussing others. Please send us a message and we can talk about the available options.
All our licenses are forever. As long as your company still exists, and the fonts still work, you can use them. (As long as we’re still around, we’ll still offer support, too.)
Yes.
Yes.
Yes. (Although you need to take reasonable precautions to make sure people can’t access installable font files, like only using WOFF2 format.)
Yes.
There are some specific restrictions — please check the exact terms in the license agreement. The main ones are:
The exact character sets vary for each of our fonts, based on the needs and goals of each design. All of our typefaces support Western European languages, with most covering many more.
Since 2024, all new releases cover the Latin M set, supporting at least 400 Latin-script languages — you can see the full, searchable list on each typeface’s page on this site.
‘Pro’ fonts are typically versions with larger character sets and more extensive features. We include those in all our fonts, so there’s no need for the ‘Pro’ suffix.
Yes, absolutely. We can add extra characters, or create a custom version of a typeface for your brand — just let us know what you need.
If you convert the type to outlines in your design tool, you can modify the resulting paths. You’re not allowed to edit or reverse-engineer the actual font files (although we can do this for you if necessary).
The name is different. Trial versions contain the same character sets, OpenType features, kerning and language support as the fully-licensed files.
Not if they’re accessible to the public, but you can use trial fonts internally during development.
Yes, if it’s for a class project or self-initiated work. If there’s a client, they need a license for any public-facing usage.
Yes.
Yes. If you’re purchasing a license for yourself, you can select the ‘Licensee is a student’ option during checkout for 50% off any license.
That said, make sure you actually need a Commercial license before purchasing: you can use trial fonts during your studies for free, and if you’re working for a paying client, you’ll already be covered under their license.
We can generally offer discounted licensing for non-profits, charities, cultural institutions and other clients of a similar nature. Please contact us with some info about your organisation to arrange this.
Depending on the circumstances, we can often provide project-specific, limited-duration, or other limited-scope licenses for a reduced fee. Please contact us with some info about your use case to discuss this.
We recognise that the ‘company size’ metric isn’t a perfect measure of value, and some situations call for a different approach. If need be, we can tailor a quote to more accurately reflect your organisation’s requirements — please get in touch to discuss this.
Yes, as long as they have read the license agreement and given permission for you to make the purchase. You can specify whether the licensee is yourself or your client during the checkout process.
You can purchase licensing for companies up to 300 total employees directly through this website, either by credit/debit card or iDEAL (Netherlands).
For orders over €200, we can also issue invoices directly for payment by bank transfer.
Orders from this site are handled by our payment processor, Stripe, which means we can’t usually see the reason why they were declined.
It might help to contact your card issuer and ask them to greenlight the purchase.
We’re unable to refund font licenses in most cases, since we can’t verify the fonts are no longer in use. Please check the license details carefully before placing an order.
We’re always happy to make corrections for small mistakes in your order, like misspellings.
If your license is invalid because the company size you specified is too small, we can offset the amount you paid against the cost of a valid license.
Please get in touch if you have any issues.
For Commercial licenses, we provide OTF and WOFF2 formats. Trial fonts are provided in OTF format only.
The formats we provide should cover almost every use case, but if not, let us know and we’ll try to get you the format you need.
Please send us a message with your order number, operating system version, and a brief description of the issue, and we’ll be happy to look into it.
All font features rely on the software you use supporting them. Some applications (notably the Microsoft Office suite) don’t support all of our fonts’ capabilities — if your use case relies heavily on OpenType features, such as stylistic alternates, we recommend using trial fonts to ensure what you need is available.
We can often circumvent this by creating a custom version of a typeface where the required features are ‘baked in’ as defaults, though there are some costs involved.
If your question wasn’t listed, or you’re unclear about any part of the licensing process, please reach out and we’ll be happy to help.
