Large font marketplace run by Monotype. Licences are sold per use (Desktop, Webfont, App, Electronic Doc, Digital Ad, Server), and each foundry's EULA can differ.
Can I use it in commercial work?
Depends on the licence type bought and the foundry's EULA; Desktop covers common professional design use.
“Desktop licenses are entry-level licenses and are designed to cover the most common graphic design uses, both personal and professional, for use in desktop applications with a font menu.”
Can I use it in work I make for a client?
MyFonts advises entering the client as licence owner when buying for them.
“Be sure to enter your client's name or their company name into the 'License Information' field during the checkout process.”
Can I use it in a logo?
At least a Desktop licence; check the foundry's Desktop EULA.
“Minimally a Desktop license would be required to use a font in a logo, so that the font can be installed onto a workstation, and the design be created within a desktop application.”
Can a logo made with it be registered as a trademark?
Not addressed on the FAQ; depends on each foundry's EULA.
Can I use it on merchandise or products I sell?
Not addressed generally; customer-personalised products need a Server licence.
“A server license is required for sites, web apps, or services that allow a non-licensed user to utilize the font to create a product”
Can I use it on a website (live text or web embedding)?
Needs a Webfont licence (single domain, priced by pageviews).
“Webfonts can be used on a single domain.”
Can I embed it in an app or software?
Needs an App licence when the font file is embedded in the app.
“Select this license type when you are developing an app for iOS or Android and you will be embedding the font file in your mobile application’s code.”
Can I use it in social posts, video or broadcast?
Static images are covered by Desktop; video/broadcast isn't addressed on the FAQ.
“Create and print documents, as well as static images (.jpeg, .tiff, .png), even if the images are used on a website or within a mobile app.”
Can I use it in paid advertising?
HTML5 ads with embedded fonts need a Digital Ad/Email licence.
“You can use this type of license to embed fonts into digital ads, such as ads built using HTML5.”
Can I use or embed it in ebooks and PDFs?
Embedding needs an Electronic Doc licence (per publication).
“You can use an Electronic Doc license to embed the font in an electronic publication such as an eBook, eMagazine, eNewspaper, or interactive PDF.”
Can I give the font/asset files to my client?
Flat images can be shared; font files and files with embedded fonts cannot.
“Static graphics (i.e., “flat” images that do not contain embedded fonts) may be distributed, but you may not distribute raw font files or files containing embedded fonts.”
How many people or devices does it cover?
Desktop is priced per user.
“Desktop licenses are based on the number of users of the fonts.”
What happens to my work if I cancel or stop paying?
Most webfont licences are annual; Desktop terms depend on the product.
“Most foundries on MyFonts offer their webfonts with the Annual license model.”
Can I modify it?
Not addressed on the FAQ; depends on each foundry's EULA.
What does it say about AI (output ownership, training, indemnity)?
