Welcome to the licensing page for Typodermic Fonts! Let’s dive right into the world of commercial font licenses. In general, you’ll find four main categories: desktop, web, e-book, and application. Not all our fonts come with the same license agreement—it varies depending on where you got the font from.
Did your font come with a license agreement? Great, refer to that for guidance. If it’s one of our free fonts, and it didn’t come with a license agreement, no problem at all! You can easily get a fresh version right here.
And hey, if you’re using fonts included with your Adobe CC subscription, you can check out your license agreement on Adobe’s site. Encountering issues or need clarification about a specific license agreement? Your first point of contact should be the font seller.
Now, we know this can be a bit confusing, and that’s okay. If you don’t want to sift through all this information, we’re here to help. Feel free to drop us a message and let us know what you’re planning to do with the font. Just remember to include the name and style of the font (like regular, bold, etc.). We’re more than happy to guide you on this font journey!
A desktop license is the most common type of font license, and it’s essential for most basic uses of our fonts. Good news – you can obtain a desktop license for Typodermic Fonts from any of our three vendors: MyFonts, FontSpring, or Font Bros.
So, what exactly does a desktop license allow you to do? In simple terms, it lets you install the font on your computer and use it to create a wide variety of content. Here’s what you need to know:
Remember, while a desktop license gives you a lot of freedom, it doesn’t allow you to modify the font file itself or create products where the end-user can use the font independently (like alphabet stickers or a typewriter).
If you’re ever unsure whether your intended use is covered by a desktop license, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re here to help ensure you have the right license for your creative needs!
Wondering if you need a web license? Let’s make it simple! If you’re just uploading graphics or a logo to a website, your desktop license has got you covered. But if you want to use the font as live, editable text on your website, that’s where a web license comes in handy. Not sure which applies to you? No worries! Just drop us a line at Typodermic Fonts, and we’ll help you figure it out.
If you’re certain you need a web license, it’s easy to find. Just use the search tool on our Typodermic Fonts website to locate your font. On the font’s page, you’ll find a link that will take you directly to the MyFonts page where you can purchase the web license. They’ll provide you with a web-ready version of the font, all set for seamless online use. Remember, we’re here to make your font experience as smooth as possible, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
Thinking about using our fonts in an e-book? We’re excited to help! Generally, you’ll only need an e-book license if you’re embedding the font in the e-book file itself. For e-book covers, images, or graphical headings created as static graphics, your trusty desktop license will do the trick. Not sure where your project falls? No problem at all! Just get in touch with us at Typodermic Fonts, and we’ll gladly help you determine what you need.
If you know you need an e-book license, we’ve made it easy to find. Simply use the search feature on our Typodermic Fonts website to find your font.

Understanding our Application License is crucial when you plan to incorporate Typodermic Fonts into software applications, including video games, mobile apps, and other digital platforms. Here’s a detailed look at what an Application License entails:
An Application License allows you to embed Typodermic Fonts into a software application. This is necessary when you want the font to be an integral part of your app’s design, ensuring that users see the intended typography regardless of the fonts installed on their device.
If you’re developing an app, video game, or any form of interactive software that incorporates our fonts directly into its code, an Application License is required. This license is essential whether your software is commercial or free.
For software that enables content creation by users, such as graphic design tools, custom t-shirt design apps, or CAD programs, a specialized license may be needed. These cases often require a tailored approach to address unique usage scenarios.
You can acquire an Application License directly from MyFonts. Use the search tool on our website to find your desired font. On the font’s page, you’ll see a link that will take you directly to the MyFonts page where you can purchase the appropriate Application License. If you’re unsure or need guidance, feel free to contact us for personalized assistance.
If your requirements aren’t met by the desktop, web, e-book, or application license conditions, see what’s available through each font vendor’s shopping cart system. If you are unable to locate a suitable license, contact Typodermic, and we’ll explain the options to you.

Font embedding is a process that integrates a font directly into digital media, such as a website, an application, or an e-book. This ensures the font displays as intended, regardless of the fonts installed on the viewer’s device. Let’s break down what this means in different contexts, using examples inspired by questions from our customers:
Imagine you’re designing a website and want to use a specific font to maintain a consistent style across all browsers and devices. To achieve this, you embed the font using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) with the “@font-face” rule. This way, when someone visits your website, the font appears exactly as you designed it, even if they don’t have the font installed on their device.
Example: A bakery wants their website to use the “Meloriac” font in their headings. By embedding “Meloriac” into the website’s code, every visitor sees these headings in the intended font.
In the context of software or mobile apps, embedding a font means incorporating the font file into the app’s code. For instance, if you’re developing a mobile game and want all in-game text to appear in “Meloriac,” you embed the font within the game. This ensures that all players see the text in “Meloriac”, regardless of the fonts on their device.
Example: An indie game developer uses “Meloriac” font for dialogue in their game. Embedding “Meloriac” into the game ensures that all players see the dialogue in this font, maintaining the game’s visual consistency.
Embedding fonts in e-books is slightly different. It involves integrating the font into the e-book file itself. This is necessary when you want specific font styles to be displayed in the text of the e-book, not just in images or titles.
Example: An author wants their fantasy novel’s chapter titles to display in “Meloriac” font on all e-readers. Embedding “Meloriac” in the e-book file ensures these titles appear correctly on any e-reader device.
If you have specific embedding needs or are unsure about which license applies to your project, feel free to contact us for guidance.
Understanding font modification is crucial for using Typodermic fonts in your projects. Here, we clarify what we mean by ‘modification’ and outline the permissible adjustments under our license terms.
Font File Modification: This involves using font editing software to change the font file itself. It could mean altering the design of characters, adding new glyphs, or adjusting the spacing and kerning. Such modifications to the actual font file are not permitted without explicit permission from Typodermic Fonts. If you need to modify the font file for any reason, please contact us to discuss the possibilities.
Design Project Modification: This is where you use Typodermic fonts in your design work, such as creating logos, graphics, or headlines. In these cases, you are free to manipulate the shapes of the characters as part of your design. For example, you can stretch, warp, or add decorative elements to the letters in your design software. This type of modification is allowed and does not require additional permission. It’s important to note that these changes are part of your design and do not alter the underlying font file itself.
The distinction is vital for protecting the integrity of the font design and ensuring users have a consistent experience with our fonts. Modifying the font file could lead to unintended issues in display and usage, which is why we need to oversee any such changes. However, we fully encourage creativity in using our fonts within your designs, allowing for flexibility and innovation in your projects.
If your project requires changes to the actual font file, please reach out to us at Typodermic Fonts. We can discuss your needs and explore options, including potential custom font services.
Remember, when it comes to using Typodermic Fonts, the goal is to enable creativity while respecting the artistry and technical aspects of font design. If you’re ever in doubt about what constitutes permissible modification, don’t hesitate to contact us for guidance.
Typodermic Fonts does not specialize in exclusive fonts or custom work. However, we can rectify errors and make minor changes. Please contact us so that we can discuss.
