Licensing
„I want to use the font non-commercially.“
All of our fonts are 100% free for personal use. That means you can use the font for:
– your wedding invitations
– your personal blog (without advertising income or simliar)
– private letters
and everything else, as long as no direct or indirect profit is sought with the project.
„I want to use the font commercially.“
Are you using the font directly or indirectly to aim profit? In this case you’ll need a license. The number of employees in your company / your client’s company is decisive for the price of the license.
