Can I share the fonts I have purchased with an external agency?
Yes, but such use falls outside the scope of the Desktop licence, and you will need a Third Party font licence.
Can I transfer the font licence to someone else?
Yes, Typotheque font licences are transferrable, so you may transfer a previously purchased font licence to someone else, provided the third party agrees to the same licensing terms in writing and you destroy your copies of the fonts and confirm this in writing too.
Is the font licence perpetual?
The Desktop font licence is perpetual, with just a one-off licensing fee becoming payable at the outset. Large-scale users with a Corporate licence can choose between perpetual licensing and an annual renewal. Webfonts come with both options: Hosted webfonts, where a small monthly fee is charged if you surpass the monthly limit of 25,000 page views; and a perpetual Self-hosted licence.
Which font licence do I need for Figma?
Typotheque font licences are designed for people, not apps. All you need is a Desktop font licence. Just make sure that the number of users corresponds to the number covered by the licence. For example, if your tool is for five people, your Typotheque font licence should also cover five people. The same applies to other prototyping design tools such as Sketch, Miro, InVision Adobe XD, etc.
Who needs to buy the font licence, the client or the designer?
Fonts fall into the category of software, which means that everyone who uses them needs to have a licence. If a designer is making a poster for a client, it is the designer (as user of the font), not the client, who needs to buy a font licence. If the client also wishes to use the fonts, they too will need to purchase their own licences.
