Licensing

So, how does font licensing work? When you purchase a font, you are purchasing the right to use that font for a specific use (such as on a website, in an eBook or on packaging). If you need to use the font across multiple platforms or for different uses, you may need multiple licenses to cover each of those uses.

Which license is right for you? Take a look at the license options below. If you're not quite sure or you have questions, feel free to get in touch or view the FAQs.

Server License

Please Contact

A Server license is required to install the font on a server that will allow users to generate products such as PDFs, invoices, business cards using the font. The fonts can not be distributed or downloaded from the server by the user.

The server license does not cover making the font available to users within SaaS applications (such as Figma or Canva) and a custom license is required for such.
