OUR LICENSING MODEL
Each individual who is using our typefaces must obtain a license (whether purchased by them or on their behalf). Upon obtaining a license that individual becomes a Licensee. The license grants the Licensee use on any of their workstations. Shared workstations must have one license per individual/Licensee sharing that workstation.
If the individual is creating work for a client, the client must obtain a license if they will continue to dynamically work with the typeface in any capacity. If the client is working with static assets that use the typeface (ie. outlined logo, rasterized images, etc.), they do not need own a typeface.
With a license, you may use the typeface in any usecase (logo, branding, print, websites, apps, etc.). If you are using our typefaces for apps or websites please reach out to us for the correct number of licenses to order. There are some specific usecases we strictly forbid, they are outlined below.
END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (EULA)

The Designer reserves the right to request proof of purchase and the license at any time. If someone is found guilty of not holding the correct license, we reserve the right to request adequate charges for the use of the Typeface at the discretion of the Designer.
