What is a license extension?

A license extension is an add-on to the standard license where we define the terms for a specific use you need for our font software.

Some examples of license extension use cases:

  • You want to use our fonts server-side to dynamically output assets

  • You need to broadcast worldwide to a large audience

  • You have multiple website domains to cover, but some are externally owned

Get in touch with us to start this discussion.

What’s up with CPUs, devices, desktop or laptop computers, websites, users, traffic?

Our license covers this. You can:

  • Install the font files on all the devices owned by your organisation.

  • Use the fonts on any websites whose domain and subdomains is owned by your organisation (public or private)

  • No limit of visitors or page views

  • Embed the fonts in your publications, app, software or video game (read the full license for details)

When to purchase a license for my client?

You can purchase licenses on behalf of other organisations. For instance – as a freelance or studio – you can detail the licensee information during the checkout process.

You can work with your own license at first and purchase the appropriate license for your client right before everything goes live (publication hits the shelves, website is published, app is in the stores, etc.). Do not hesitate to get in touch if you have specific cases in mind.

Are you doing custom fonts?

Yes we are. Have a look at the Font services page and send us a message with a couple of details on your project.
