Font Licenses

Font software is licensed, not sold, under the End User License Agreement. You choose the typefaces you need, then configure the Licensed Unit at checkout.

How licensing works

    Choose the typefaces and weights you need. You can license individual styles or a full family.

  2. Step 2

    Select one usage option per category (desktop, web, app, and so on). Only pay for the rights you need.

  3. Step 3

    Billing information

    Enter your contact and company details for the license record and receipt.

  4. Step 4

    Payment and font delivery

    Complete checkout to receive your font files and license documentation by email.

Usage categories

In step 2 of checkout, pick one option per category. “None” means you are not licensing that use.
