Licensing

One font is now commonly used on several platforms at once, from websites and social media to apps and printed materials. Given this trend, we decided to step away from having a separate license for each use case – instead, you can use our typefaces “however” you need without having to pay extra.

How does it work? Our licensing model is based on company size, meaning the license price is tied to the size of the licensee’s company, not on how they plan to use our fonts. Simply choose the category that matches the licensee’s company based on the number of employees.

Our commercial license includes desktop installations (and use of our fonts in print, social media, logo design, etc.), web font usage without limitations on the number of views, and use of fonts in games, apps, or e-publications. Need a different, more specific type of license (like a broadcast license)? Please contact us at info@narrowtype.com for a customized offer.
