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 try out the fonts before buying them?
Yes, there are several ways to trial the fonts before placing an order. The fastest way is to test the fonts directly in your browser, on the font presentation page, setting your own text and printing it, or exporting it to PDF. If you prefer, you can request a 30-day webfont trial.
If you need to work inside your design application, the easiest option is to trial the fonts in the Fontstand app, which lists nearly all Typotheque’s fonts, and allows the user free three-hour font trials, or a monthly rental for just 10% of the font price.
If you have purchased any Typotheque fonts in the past, you will be able to download the trial versions of the fonts. If you are not yet a Typotheque client, and you are working on a project for which you’d like to try out our fonts, send us an email at info@typotheque.com to explain your situation, and we’ll do our best to work something out with you.
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.
