What I'm up to
Overview
The bulk of our practice is in producing original typefaces for our retail
catalogue, which you can license directly for use in your own projects. We
can also modify these or extend their language support to fit specific
clients’ use cases.
Alongside our own font library, we
work on all kinds of type-related projects, including wordmarks,
logotypes, and entirely custom type families for larger brands.

Commercial License
Our Commercial license is priced according to company size: how many people, in total, work for the Licensee — since larger organisations can extract more value from the same fonts. We don’t charge extra for using fonts on the web or other media, and we don’t require you to upgrade a license if your usage changes later.
Trial License
A Trial license lets you use our fonts for testing and evaluation at no cost. Trial fonts contain the full glyph sets and OpenType features, but can’t be used in public or commercial work.

License FAQ
Who should own the license, me or my client?
Your client — the organisation commissioning the work, not the designer or agency creating it. As a designer, you only need to own a Commercial license if you’re creating work for yourself.

What happens to my old license?
The license you originally bought will always apply, even if we change the terms for new licenses.
If your existing license is our original V1 model, you can choose to upgrade to the more permissive V2 license terms — please send us a message if that’s the case.
If you have a Non-Commercial license for a font, we’ll continue to provide a discount for Commercial license upgrades equivalent to the amount you’ve already paid.

All of our finished typefaces are also available on Fontstand, a platform which lets you rent fonts by the month for a fraction of their regular price. Once you’ve rented them for a year, they become yours to keep.
