Licensing

Licensing Simplyfied

I have carefully considered how to make font licensing as simple and transparent as possible. Instead of juggling multiple licenses for web, apps, logos, broadcasting, and more – which often leads to errors and unintentional misuse – my approach is straightforward: Three licenses. All uses. Once purchased, the license is valid perpetually, meaning there are no recurring annual license fees.

1. Desktop License: covers the topics of print, logo, social media, digital advertising, broadcasting and e-books. Fair and Scalable Pricing License fee is based on company size, not the number of users. This reflects the value created: larger organizations naturally generate greater impact with the fonts, while smaller teams benefit from accessible, fair pricing. The result: a clear, consistent licensing model that simplifies the process and, in most cases, leads to a more cost-efficient and fair solution – without compromising quality or value.
‍ 2. Web License: covers the use of the font under one top-level domain. The license fee is based on the average number of monthly page views.
‍ 3. App & Game License: The license fee is simply based on the number of apps or games that use the font, from 1 to 5. If you would like to use the font in more than 5 apps, please contact sales@tabulatype.studio.

This End User License Agreement (“Agreement”, “EULA”) is a legal contract between you (“Licensee”) and Andreas Quaisser – Type Design , a sole proprietorship based in Munich, Germany (“Licensor”).
By purchasing, downloading, installing, or using any font software (“Font Software”), you agree to the terms of this Agreement.

2. Grant of License

Licensor grants Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable right to use the Font Software under the conditions set forth in the selected license type (e.g., Desktop, Web, App & Game).
Each license applies only to the Licensee and only to the specific usage parameters (e.g., number of employees, page views, applications) defined at the time of purchase.Use beyond the licensed scope requires an additional license .

3. Intellectual Property Ownership

The Fonts are protected by copyright.
You do not own the Fonts themselves; you only obtain the rights explicitly granted in this License Agreement.
All rights not expressly granted remain with the Licensor.

4. Scope of Licensed Uses and Relationship of Desktop, Web, and App & Game Licenses

4.1. Desktop License Requirement

A Desktop License is required whenever the Font Software is installed on any computer, workstation, laptop, or local device for the purpose of creating documents, presentations, marketing materials, brand assets, packaging, PDFs, or any other graphic or digital content.
The Desktop License is mandatory for all local installations within a company and is based on the company’s total number of employees worldwide.

4.2. Web License Limitation

A Web License only grants the right to self-host the Font Software in WOFF/WOFF2 format on the licensee’s web server and to display the font on licensed domains through CSS @font-face.
A Web License does not permit:
‍
a) installation of the Font Software on any local device,
b) use of the font in Office software, PDFs, or any design tools,
c) creation of marketing or brand assets,
d) transferring the font to agencies except as defined in Section 4.4.

4.3. App & Game License Limitation

An App & Game License only grants the right to embed the Font Software in applications, games, or software products as part of the final compiled product.
An App & Game License does not permit local installation for design, branding, or document creation, nor any usage outside the distributed software product.

4.4. Use by Agencies and Freelancers

If a company (the “Client”) purchases a valid license, the Client may provide the Font Software to its external design, branding, or marketing agency solely for the purpose of executing the Client’s project.
The agency is permitted to use the Font Software exclusively within the scope of that specific project and may not use, retain, or store the Font Software for any other clients or projects.
If the agency wishes to use the Font Software for a different client or project, a separate license must be obtained by either the agency or that new client.

4.5. Prohibition of Using Only Web or App Licenses to Avoid Desktop Licensing

It is expressly prohibited to use a Web License or an App & Game License as a substitute for a Desktop License.
Any organization that installs or uses the Font Software locally in any way must obtain an appropriate Desktop License, regardless of whether they hold additional Web or App & Game Licenses.

5. Restrictions

The Licensee must comply with the following restrictions. Any use not expressly permitted in this Agreement is prohibited.

5.1. No Modification of the Font Software

The Licensee may not modify, adapt, convert, decompile, reverse-engineer, rename, or otherwise alter the Font Software or create derivative works based on it.
This includes modifications for technical, stylistic, linguistic, or functional purposes. Optional Add-On (if you want this in your EULA):
However, custom modifications, extensions, or expansions of the Font Software can be commissioned from Andreas Quaisser – Type Design as a paid service.

5.2. No Distribution, Sharing, or Unauthorized Access

The Licensee may not distribute, share, sublicense, rent, lend, or otherwise provide the Font Software to any third party who is not covered by a valid license.

This includes (examples added for clarity):

  • sending the font files to freelancers, contractors, vendors, or partner agencies who are not covered by the Licensee’s own Desktop License
  • ‍ uploading font files to shared cloud storage where other organizations can access them
  • embedding fonts in publicly accessible repositories, digital asset libraries, or design systems without proper licensing.

Exception:
As defined in Section 4.4 (“Agency & Freelancer Scenario”) , the Licensee may temporarily provide the font files to an external agency strictly for the execution of one specific project belonging to the Licensee.
Any broader or repeated use by the agency requires the agency (or their other clients) to obtain a separate license.

5.3. No Transfer of Rights

The Licensee may not transfer, assign, or resell the license, in whole or in part, to any other entity. Exception:
The temporary project-specific sharing described in Section 4.4 does not constitute a transfer of rights and is therefore permitted.

5.4. No Embedding Beyond What the License Allows

The Licensee may not embed the Font Software in any software, device, product, document, or system except as explicitly allowed by the specific license purchased (Desktop, Web, App & Game).
‍
‍ Examples of prohibited embedding:

  • embedding desktop OTF/TTF files directly into a website (instead of using licensed WOFF/WOFF2 Webfont files)
  • embedding the fonts in SaaS tools, platforms, or services used by third parties
  • embedding fonts in hardware, firmware, or consumer products (e.g., an operating system, printer, TV, kiosk display) without a dedicated license
  • embedding fonts in a mobile or desktop software product without an App & Game License

5.5. No Use in Products or Templates for Resale

The Licensee may not use the Font Software to create products, templates, or assets that are intended for resale or redistribution.
‍
‍ Examples:

  • creating editable design templates sold on platforms like Canva, Adobe Stock, Creative Market, Envato, or similar
  • embedding fonts in design systems, UI kits, or libraries that are distributed to third parties
  • using the fonts in white-label products where end users gain indirect access to the fonts

5.6. No Use of the Font Software for Training of AI Models

The Licensee may not use the Font Software, its glyph shapes, outlines, or any derivative data to train artificial intelligence, machine-learning systems, or generative models.

5.7. Use in NFTs, Blockchain, or Cryptocurrency Projects

The Font Software may not be used in NFTs, blockchain-based products, cryptocurrency projects, or similar decentralized applications without a separate written license agreement .

This is because such use typically involves:

  • embedding the font in assets that cannot be controlled once distributed
  • transferring font data in ways that exceed standard licensing
  • broad distribution to end users who do not hold a license

If a Licensee wishes to use the fonts in NFT or blockchain contexts , they must contact:
sales@tabulatype.studio to obtain an appropriate commercial license.

6. Embedding and Additional License Requirements

6.3. Webfont Use Requires a Web License

If the Licensee wishes to use the Font Software on a website by hosting Webfonts on a web server for rendering text in a browser, a separate Web License is required. The Desktop License alone does not permit any server-based usage, including self-hosting of WOFF/WOFF2 files.

6.4 Additional Embedding Requires a Supplemental License

Any embedding not explicitly permitted under the Desktop License requires an appropriate supplemental license.
