FAQ
Licensing
How do font licenses work?
You buy a license to use the font, not the font itself: Beautypes Studio keeps the copyright. Every license is per font family, perpetual (no subscription, no renewal) and non-transferable. Your license certificate is sent with your download. Full terms: License.
Which license do I need?
For most design work, Desktop is enough: 1 user on 2 computers, personal and commercial projects including client work, print, documents, packaging and logos (not trademark-registered), up to 5,000 sold items and non-monetized social posts.
Choose Web for a website, Commercial / POD for unlimited sold items, merch, ads and monetized social, App / ePub for one app or e-book, and Extended for teams, broadcast and trademarked logos.
Compare the licenses
Prices are multiples of the Desktop price:
- Desktop 1× — 1 user · 2 computers · commercial use & logos · up to 5,000 sold items · non-monetized social
- Web 2× — 1 website up to 100k views/month · includes Desktop
- Commercial / POD 4× — Unlimited sold items · merch & POD (flattened designs) · monetized social & ads · up to 3 users
- App / ePub 15× — 1 app or 1 ebook title
- Extended 25× — Up to 10 users · unlimited web views · 1 app · broadcast · trademarked logo
Websites (@font-face), apps, e-books, broadcast, monetized social and paid ads are not covered by Desktop.
Can I use the font on a website?
Yes, with the Web license: 1 website (one domain incl. subdomains) up to 100,000 pageviews/month, using WOFF/WOFF2 via @font-face served from your own server. Extended covers unlimited pageviews. Higher traffic or several sites: ask for a quote.
Apps, games and e-books
The App / ePub license covers 1 app or game (one title, all platforms) or 1 e-book / e-magazine title (all editions and formats). The font must be embedded (subset recommended) so end users can’t extract it or use it to create their own content.
Merch and print-on-demand
Desktop allows up to 5,000 sold items in total. Commercial / POD allows unlimited sold items, including merchandise and print-on-demand where the font is part of a flattened (non-editable) design. Customizers or editable templates that let buyers type their own text are not covered by any standard license: contact us for a quote.
Can I embed the font in PDFs?
Yes. Documents and PDFs you distribute (static, with the font subset/embedded as your software does it) are covered by Desktop. Interactive e-books and digital publications for sale need App / ePub.
How many people can use one license?
Desktop, Web and App / ePub: 1 user on up to 2 computers. Commercial / POD: up to 3 users. Extended: up to 10 users within one company. Need more seats? Ask for a quote.
Can I use it for client work?
Yes, client work is allowed under every license. Contractors working on your project may install the font for that project and must delete it when it ends. If your client will keep using the font themselves (for example in their own brand materials), they need their own license.
Can I use the font in a logo or trademark?
Logos are allowed with every license. Registering a logo or wordmark made with the font as a trademark requires the Extended license, and only the artwork, not the font itself, may be registered.
Can I upgrade my license later?
Yes. Upgrades to a higher tier are available by paying the price difference. Email [email protected] with your order number and the license you need.
Font buyout
What does a font Buyout include?
Full copyright transfer of the font family. It is exclusive and the font is removed from sale here. The pack contains:
- 01_Fonts: OTF, TTF, WOFF and WOFF2
- 02_Source: the FontLab .vfb source (any other source files are bonus, provided as-is)
- 03_Documents: signed copyright assignment agreement (PDF), certificate of ownership (PDF), glyph chart, README and SHA-256 checksums
- 04_Previews: the preview images
Buyout is only offered on fonts whose .vfb source is complete. Licenses sold before your buyout stay valid.
Delivery & downloads
How and when do I get my files?
Right after payment you are sent to a thank-you page, and a delivery email from Cexagon Shop <[email protected]> arrives, usually within minutes, with your download links and license certificate. Buyouts also include the agreement and certificate of ownership.
