Logos, print & marketing material

Design of: the production of paper publications, for example, newspapers, pamphlets, books and magazines; print advertising; vinyl or printed signage; posters and billboards; logos and logotypes; corporate documents; newsletters and annual reports; as well as images for print, web and social media (static images only); embedding in ePub publications; product/merchandise packaging; marketing materials; outdoor advertising (OOH); digital screens and billboards (non-interactive); presentations (e.g. Powerpoint); film and video (non-broadcast). You may use the fonts to display static images within online and social media advertisements (e.g. web banners).

You are not entitled to use the fonts for any form of video content for paid advertising (e.g. a commercial), whether on social media platforms, online channels, TV networks, streaming services or otherwise. For this purpose, you would require a separate Advertising licence.

Unlimited web

You need to use the fonts on unlimited domains or websites, with unlimited page views, and need to provide to them to affiliates, partners, agencies and vendors and people outside your organisation (e.g. contractors or freelancers) for purposes directly related to your business. You also may wish to use the web fonts for styling text in dynamic web-based advertising content (e.g. real-time updates), and/or in email template communications to external databases (e.g. via Campaign Monitor or MailChimp) in an unlimited capacity.

Advertising commercials

You want to use the fonts within TV commercials or promotional videos/films for campaigns that are intended for paid advertising placements online, via social media and/or on TV.

Note: Along with an Advertising Font Licence you’ll need to own a Desktop Font Licence for the fonts you want to use. You will not receive separate font downloads when you purchase this licence. For all of your advertising content needs, you can use the .otf font files received with your purchase of a Desktop Font Licence.

Broadcasting

You want to use the fonts across your broadcasting network or within a TV show/series, film/movie or other content intended for broadcast, as well as the related marketing communications to promote that content.

Enterprise

You need to distribute the fonts to a wide range of people (e.g. affiliates, agencies, partners, vendors, contractors, freelancers) for purposes directly related to your business, and use them across various mediums, such as print media, online advertising, websites and apps, without restriction.
