Font licensing
Do I need separate font licenses for different uses?
Yes. You should purchase a license based on your desired end Use.
Can I use the fonts to create a logo or other images?
With a Desktop License, yes. You can use the fonts in any desktop program (such as Adobe Photoshop) to create images or vector artwork, including logos, which you can then use for any purpose.
Can I copyright the logo or register it as a trademark?
Yes. The logo may be copyrighted or registered as a trademark under the Desktop License Terms.
Can I use the fonts for commercial projects or client work?
Yes, as long as these commercial projects or client work include only static designs you’ve made and you don’t let your clients design with the fonts themselves.
However, if your client needs to have the font installed to edit your design, they will need their own desktop license.
Does my client need their own font license to use the designs?
No, your client wouldn’t need a font license if you are creating static images in the following raster formats (JPEG, .TIFF, .PNG, etc.) and vector formats (EPS, SVG, etc. made with a “create outlines” tool).
