License
How does our font licensing works?
Since our launch in 2016 we’ve been advocating for simpler solutions and transparency when it comes to font licenses. One of our pride is having a straightforward licensing system with a very clear approach to what you can and cannot do with your fonts
When purchasing a font license on Blaze Type our License system allows you to get a license which allows use of the fonts on anything you wish (print, web, embedded, and so on) for an unlimited amount of users.
The license owner will have to pick a license for the amount of people in their company (starting from Freelance up to Unlimited number of employees)
If you’re purchasing a font on behalf of a client (for a branding project for example), as they will & should be the license owner as primary users of the fonts, you’ll have to select the amount of employees in their company, not yours.
If you are to use the fonts on anything displayed on Social Media: you have to pick the amount of followers on all social networks owned by the License owner. If the amount of followers is under 10K across all social media platforms, you don't need to purchase a Social Media License as it would be automatically included.
The same goes for the other different options listed in the license possibilities during the selection of your fonts: logo, trademark, embed and so on.
To sum it up here are the different kind of Licensing :
• Student & Academics (Get the rights to use the fonts at a 80% discount for personal / commercial projects). The rights to use the fonts extend after the end of one's studies and are validated as a "Freelance/Company of 1 employee" License and might be updated to a Company sized license depending on your activity's growth.
• Company: starting from Up to 1 employee to 500. If you plan on using the fonts on anything related to social media, know that the Social Media for up to 10K followers across platforms is included for free. (Make sure you don't need an upgrade here depending on how your followers base evolve)
• Social Media (with the possibility to pick the right amount of Followers —across all social media platforms combined— starting from 10K Followers to Unlimited): grants you a licensing right to use the fonts on anything related to Social Media communication.
• Website: whether or not the font is to be used on a website or multiple websites
• Embed: whether or not the font is to be embedded on a document or not
• Share with a third party: whether or not the font is to be shared with a third party for the purpose of a project

• Video: whether or not the font is to be used as part of a motion for online Ads or in house company videos
• Broadcast: whether or not the font is to be used as part of a TV production (Local, National, Worldwide)
• Trademark: If you are looking to deposit your brand's logo to the legal authorities of your country
• Server: A Server License is required when the font is installed or executed on a server—on-premise or in the cloud—to automatically generate or render text content for any number of users or client devices.
• App/Game: If you are looking to use the font in an app or a game
