Licensing

Below you’ll find an overview of our license types, along with the key information needed to determine which license best suits you or your client.

A VALUE-BASED LICENSE MODEL

Our licenses are based on the individual or the total employee count of the client company (the “Licensee”), ensuring fair pricing for businesses of every size. This count is what determines the license tier—not the size of the design agency or team. Third-party usage by agencies, studios, and subcontractors is covered under our EULAs. For clients with more than 500 employees, please contact us for a custom license.

SINGLE COMMERCIAL USE - UNLIMITED PERSONAL USE

Our licenses cover a single commercial project per EULA, while personal use is unlimited. Personal use refers to any project not created for a business or brand—such as student assignments, passion projects, experimental branding, packaging concepts, posters, or online briefs.. 

IP OWNERSHIP

The typeface and / or the software and / or font software represented by the EULA remains the intellectual property of T1 Foundry or its relevant Type Designer(s).   

A USER, NOT AN OWNER

After the font license purchase has been made, THE LICENSEE  becomes a licensed USER, NOT an owner of the software.

The number of users or employees permitted to access the font software is determined by the license size selected at checkout and confirmed on your invoice. For businesses, the font may be installed at up to three (3) locations, provided usage stays within the licensed employee count. Companies operating across more than three locations must purchase an Enterprise License. If your license tier does not cover your employee total, you can either upgrade at checkout or contact us for a custom license solution.

THIRD PARTY COVERAGE

Third Parties include any client, franchisee, subcontractor, supplier, or independent professional working with the Licensee. Our EULAs allow the Licensee to grant temporary access to the font software for the duration of a specific project. Once the project is complete, the Licensee must ensure that all font files are removed from the Third Party’s systems, unless the Third Party purchases their own license.

TYPES OF LICENSES

We provide a range of license options, each designed for specific uses. Below you’ll find a summary of what each license covers and the permissions it provides. All licenses are purchased with a one-time fee — there are no subscriptions or ongoing costs.

TRIAL

Trial fonts are provided so you can explore and test our typefaces before purchasing. They must not be used in any final, published, or commercial projects.

CUSTOM LICENSING & UNLIMITED LICENSING

We offer tailored licenses ranging from small adjustments to fully bespoke solutions, as well as custom typeface and modification services.

Our Unlimited License (Corporate License) covers all media uses with no restrictions on company size, locations, projects, or distribution. For more information, contact t1foundry@type-01.com.

ENTERPRISE LICENSING

For businesses operating at scale—more than three locations, unlimited staff access, or multiple companies under a single group — we offer Enterprise Licensing. This provides a flexible, all-encompassing solution to fit your needs. Get in touch with us at t1foundry@type-01.com to discuss options.

DESKTOP/ PRINT / SOCIAL MEDIA / DIGITAL ADS

This license is designed to cover the majority of everyday uses. The Licensee can use the fonts to create documents and digital graphics for both print and screen, in tools like Adobe Creative Suite, Sketch, or Microsoft Office, and export them to formats such as JPEG, PDF, PNG, GIF, or EPS. These assets can be published online, across social platforms, or in print, as long as they’re not sold directly for financial gain. The Licensee is also free to use the fonts in digital ads, with no cap on reach or impressions.

WEB

Our Web License allows the Licensee to embed the font software into the CSS of a single website domain for use in titles and body text. Many modern web platforms also support easy embedding through plugins or built-in tools. There is no limit on the number of pages you can use the font on.

Please note: if you’re uploading static or moving digital images (such as GIFs) featuring the font to a website, this falls under our Desktop License, not the Web License.

LOGO / MARK

Our Logo / Mark License allows the Licensee to use the font software as part of a logo or iconic mark representing a single company, project, or individual, with the right to trademark it in an unlimited number of countries worldwide. Approved formats include JPEG, PNG, EPS, GIF, and MP4.

This license also allows the Licensee to publish the logo on social media platforms, websites, digital or physical ads, and branded merchandise, provided these items are not sold for financial gain. Selling merchandise or products featuring the logo would require a Product Sales license extension (see below for details).

BROADCASTING / FILM / MUSIC STREAMING

Our Broadcasting License covers the use of the font software in publicly transmitted video and motion content across TV, out-of-home (OOH), YouTube, movie streaming platforms such as Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, cinema, cinema advertising, custom streaming, and music streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and public or streamed music events.

While creating digital images and video is covered under the Desktop License, broadcasting via any of the above channels requires a Broadcasting License. This license allows THE LICENSEE to broadcast content in an unlimited number of countries worldwide, with no restrictions on engagements, including views, likes, dislikes, or impressions.

APPLICATION

Our Application License covers embedding the font software into application content, including desktop apps, mobile apps, Dapps, user interfaces, or other content for personal computers, mobile devices, gaming consoles, and smart TVs.

This license is not directly available on our product pages. If you require this type of usage, please contact us directly at t1foundry@type-01.com to discuss your needs.

PRODUCT SALES

The Product Sales License allows the font software to be used on products sold for financial gain. This license is not available on the product page or at checkout and must be requested directly from T1 Foundry.

Pricing is based on production volume, with tiers reflecting the number of units produced. Larger-scale production or an unlimited lifetime license is also an option.

Unlike our other licenses, employee numbers are not relevant—the fee is determined solely by the quantity of units produced.

To request a Product Sales License, contact t1foundry@type-01.com.

RESTRICTIONS

Additionally, here’s some of things that you CAN'T do with our fonts:

• Re-sell the font software
• Use the fonts to promote violence or discrimination
• Convert the fonts to different formats
• Modify, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble
• Make new fonts based on the typeface design
• Change font names
• Give the fonts to unlicensed parties
• Put the fonts on public servers or public repositories

CASE STUDIES

We love seeing how our clients use our fonts—so please send them in!

If THE LICENSEE does not wish for their work to be used in this way, they must contact us to discuss its exclusion from the standard EULA.

LICENSE BREACHES & TERMINATION

Any breach of the terms of our EULA's shall be cause for termination of the license. In the event of termination, and without limitation of any remedies under law and equity, THE LICENSEE agrees to immediately return or destroy the font software, at the discretion of T1 Foundry, and certify that no copy remains in your possession or control. 

If the font software is unlicensed, activated and used, this is a major breach of the terms of license. THE LICENSEE will therefore agree to retrospectively settle with the appropriate license by paying in full (in GBP Sterling £) for the usage. THE LICENSEE must agree to settle this within thirty (30) days and pass any information that T1 Foundry requires on page views per month, application (iOS, Android and other platforms) downloads and number of users utilising the font software on computers / or devices. 

Use of fonts without license or adequate licensing will require a license to be paid for the usage on the softwares retrospectively. T1 Foundry reserves the right to charge as it sees fit for time, expenses and legal work undertaken. 

Lastly, we reserve the right to ask for a copy / proof of this license at any time — so make sure it's stored and filed away correctly and safely.

AND THAT’S IT

Congratulations, you’ve just read our entire EULA!
