Purchasing

After adding the fonts to the Cart, click on the Cart icon (in the Top-Right corner of the window) and you will have 3 steps before downloading your order.

If you need any help with the vocabulary, you’ll find some entries here.

We offer up to 85% discount if you decide to purchase a collection or a complete typeface instead of single fonts. You can have this discount only if you buy it at one time: we can't reimburse the money of a purchased if you decide later to buy a whole collection or the whole typeface, or if you decide to buy the whole typeface after having bought a collection.

Desktop fonts
We provide desktop fonts with each purchase. Further information can be found in the Support article Specifications.

Webfonts
When you buy one of our fonts, the webfont is always included, at no extra cost. We provide all relevant file formats for self-hosting. You can download the webfonts from your account. You'll find further information in the Support article Inside a webfont package.

Character set & OpenType features
Our different fonts can have various languages, different OpenType features and different character sets included. Please refer to the Technical Documentation PDF of each font. You can find them on any font's page, at the Font Info zone.

Languages
If there are several alphabets in the font, it means that they are all included in the same font file. You'll find further information in the Support article Languages.

In this first step of the Check Out process, you need to choose the number of workstations and the license holder(s). 

The License Holder is the individual or company which will have access to the font files and the rights to use them. If a third party (your client, or someone else than yourself or your company) needs the fonts, they will need to buy a license.

That’s why you can buy the fonts in 3 different ways:

A. For yourself / your company

You can purchase the font for yourself or your company, and you will have the rights to use it (as long as the licensing terms are respected. Please read the EULA for more information.)

B. For a third-parties (your client for example)

If a third party needs to use the font (i.e. to install the font on their computer), your client must be registered as the license holder. That is why you have the option to buy the fonts for a third party and invoice it.

Also, you need to know that you must comply with the following conditions:

– You shall provide the client with a full copy of this EULA and get it signed by an authorized representative. In absence of such a document, You remain the accountable party.

– You shall register the client as the licensee during the checkout process.

– You shall not invoice the Font Software to the client at another price than the one mentioned in the invoice.

– You remain the Supplier’s point of contact.

C. For both at the same time

Purchasing the font for both (yourself/your company AND a third party (client) during the same check out process)

You can do the point A and B at the same time. When you have the two « order columns » activated the content of both columns are connected. It means if you remove a font from one column, it will remove it in the other too. You can edit number of workstations separately from a column to the other.

If you need more than 10, choose the right range of license; between 1 and 2000 computers during the check out process. For more than 2000, you can contact us at [email protected], please be aware that we might take a few days to get back to you. 

Workstations are cumulative. If you want to add more workstations to an already purchased font, you'll need to acquire the font again with the additional number of workstations needed. They will then be automatically combined in your account. 

e.g. You would like to have 40 workstations in total, and you already bought 10. Then you need to purchase the same font with the corresponding license holder for 30 workstations. In the end, you will have the rights to install and use it on 40 workstations.

Our purchase system could be seen as arduous for users that are not familiar with Font buying. That’s why you can now prepare a cart for someone else. Meaning, that you can choose the fonts, the workstations, and everything needed and then send the cart ready to be paid to someone else. Clicking on the button at the bottom-centre of the page.

You can use a discount code during the purchase process. For this, you have to fill your discount number under the place "coupon". The total amount will be updated accordingly. The discount code works only one time.

Difference between Billing Address and License Holder address: 

• The Billing address is the address you have registered with your card issuer, or the address of the person in charge of the payment of the invoice.
• the License Holder address is the address of the license, the individual or company which will have access to the font files and the rights to use them. And it will be also printed on the invoice.

If you are purchasing a font for third parties, you need to fulfill the License Holder box with the information of the third parties, and your informations in the Billing Box
