All sales are final, and no refunds will be given in cases other than insurmountable technical difficulties. Please check your cart carefully, as we are not responsible for a customer licensing the wrong font. Exchanges cannot be given. If you have technical problems with the fonts that render them unusable, we will do everything within our power to rectify the situation and provide you with a usable copy. If after 5 business days the issue is still unresolved, we give the option of a full refund. In order to receive this refund, you must destroy all copies of the font or fonts from your order in your possession, including backups.
All prices shown on this site are in US dollars.
When licensing two or more families within one collection, there is a base discount of $50 for each family after the first, which is then multiplied based on the license terms: the number of workstations for desktop fonts; the number of domains, unique visitors per month, and license length for webfonts; and the number of mobile apps for app licensing. Additionally, significant discounts are given when licensing font on multiple platforms (desktop,web, and app) at the same time. All of these discounts are only available when licensing families simultaneously.
No. If you have one or more licenses for individual styles in a family, the price of this license or licenses will be subtracted if you upgrade to a license for the complete family at a later date. The same is true of collections: if you license individual styles or families within a collection, the price of these licenses will be subtracted from the collection price if you upgrade to the complete collection at a later date. Simply add the complete family or collection to your cart and enter the license number or numbers from your previous order or orders in the first step of the checkout process.
In doing this, you are trading in your previous license, which will no longer be valid, in return for an instant rebate of the price of the previous license. Please keep your receipt, because you will need the license number on it for future license upgrades.
A family is a set of related typefaces in multiple styles (often multiple weights), for example the nine weights of Guardian Sans Headline, with their matching italics. A package is a set of related families: multiple widths of the same design, multiple optical sizes of the same design, a related serif and sans, or even all of the above. A collection is a package of all related families, licensed at a discounted price.
Your client needs their own font license. Separate companies, or individuals not employed by a company for whom they are doing work, must each have an appropriate license for the fonts they are using. You may transfer your license to your client provided that you destroy all copies of the fonts in your possession, including backups, and provide a copy of our standard End User License Agreement along with the fonts.
If you are planning to use one of our fonts in video or for broadcast, you will need to purchase a desktop license covering the workstations used in production. No additional fees are necessary.

Any public-facing use, including professional (non-academic) work by students, requires the purchase of an appropriate license for desktop, web, or mobile app use.
