What is a license?
The license grants the licensee the right to use the fonts. The licensee is not the owner of the fonts. The license specifies the terms and conditions of use of the fonts and is a legally binding agreement between the author of the fonts and the licensee.
In the event that the actual use of the fonts exceeds the conditions established at the time of purchase of the license, the licensee is obliged to update the license. -
Who needs to license fonts?
Every person or organization who uses the fonts or documents and products containing the fonts must purchase a license – in most cases this is the client, not the designer.
However, there are particular use cases, when a designer creates a one-off standalone product for a client, e.g. a poster, book cover, or a typographic illustration — in such situations it is the designer, who needs to purchase the license.
