Free fonts and personal usage

Are the fonts really free?

All of our fonts are free to try for personal use as long as it is not used in a commercial project. They all come with the complete glyph set and some selected key styles. You can use them in your portfolio (PDF, print or web!) and school project for examples.

What does personal use mean?

It means that you can use the font for anything of personal nature. For example but not limited to: Personal portfolios, Client pitches, personal projects, personal instagram (or any social media) posts, artistic projects with a small audience, testing in different Dev environnements, proofing, etc...

Font licensing

Who should buy the licenses, the client or the designer?

Anyone using the fonts needs a license. If only the designer has access to them, then they are the only ones who are required to purchase a license. If the client also needs to use them on their side, then both must own a license.

If the designer is creating something for a client, only the client needs to purchase the correct licenses.

How many licenses do I need to purchase?

Licenses are required for every use you intend to make.

For example if you need the font to be installed on 1 workstation and on 1 website with 10,000 pageviews per month, you will need, for every weight used, a desktop license for 1 workstation and a web license for up to 10k pageviews per month.

Do I need a separate license for each project or use case?

Yes, you typically need a separate license for each project or use case. Each license type specifies its allowed usage scenarios, and if you plan to use the font in multiple ways, you may need multiple licenses.

Using a single font license across multiple projects or use cases that have distinct licensing requirements can lead to compliance issues. For instance, if you use a font with a web license on multiple websites that collectively exceed the allowed page views, you would be in violation of the license terms.

When do I need to upgrade my license?

When you expect to exceed what is covered by your current license, please contact us and we'll upgrade your license with the new coverage.

How much does it cost to upgrade my license?

It depends on the new usage but regardless of what that new coverage costs we will fully discount what was paid for the license prior to the upgrade.

When do I need the Print License?

The Print license (formerly Desktop license) is needed for any non-embedded material (except on social media and in a logo, see below) like printed art work, digital assets, apparel, album cover, etc... This license allows you to make unlimited copies of that specific project. The license coverage should reflect the total amount of workstations that will have the font installed.

When do I need the Web License?

The Web license is needed for any website, microsite and subdomain where the font is embedded. You will need the license to reflect the anticipated total monthly pageviews of all domains, microsites and/or subdomains for this specific client or campaign.

When do I need the App License?

The App license is needed for any application (mobile or desktop) and software where the font is embedded. You will need 1 license per app and/or software and the license coverage should reflect the anticipated total monthly active users of this specific app or software.

Which License do I need if I'm using the font in a WebApp?

The WebApps fall under the regular App licenses. The license should cover the amount of active users per month.

When do I need the Social Media License?

The Social Media license is needed for any commercial use of the font on any social media platform. i.e.: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, etc... The license coverage should reflect the combined total number of followers from all social media platforms where the font will be displayed.

Is there a limit on font license duration for individuals or freelancers?

No, the 1-year limit does not apply to individuals or freelancers. Font licenses for individuals and freelancers have no fixed duration and are valid indefinitely for the usage specified in the license agreement.

What happens when the 1-year font license duration expires for companies?

When the 1-year font license duration for companies expires, the company must either renew the license for continued usage or discontinue using the licensed fonts in their projects. Renewal options and discounted rates for longer periods can be discussed with our team.

Can companies purchase multiple 1-year font licenses at once?

Yes, companies can purchase multiple 1-year font licenses to cover various projects or multiple users within the organization. Alternatively, companies can inquire about extended licensing options for added flexibility and cost-effectiveness.

}
