We strive to keep things simple and fair.
That’s why all our licences are valid for an unlimited time (no recurring fees) worldwide.
When you purchase a licence, you acquire the right to use a font, not the font itself.
A licence is always held by an individual, organisation, or company.
This entity becomes the Licence Holder.
The Licence Holder remains the same and cannot be changed.
For more information about the Licence Holder, please have a look at this summary.
Luzi Type offers three kinds of licences: Desktop Licence, Web Licence, and App Licence.
You can download the complete Licence Agreements → here.
A Desktop Licence is a versatile licence that covers production, office, and social media usage. With a Desktop Licence, you can use a typeface on your computer within programs like Microsoft Word, Adobe Illustrator, or Figma. You are allowed to create pixel images, vector images, as well as videos, and distribute these creations without limitations everywhere. You can produce this output for yourself as well as for others without any restrictions.
Here is a list of what you can do with a Desktop Font:
— Design unlimited output for yourself and others
— Unlimited production and distribution of logotypes
— Unlimited production and distribution of images
— Unlimited production and distribution of PDFs and ePubs
— Unlimited production and distribution of videos and movies
— Unlimited production and distribution of all kinds of print products
— Unlimited production and distribution of any 3D objects
— Unlimited production and distribution of any outdoor advertising
— Unlimited production and distribution of TV shows and TV ads
— Convert to outlines and change forms (e.g., in Illustrator)
A desktop font can only be used by you.
You can produce designs with the desktop font for others; for example, design business cards for a client.
However, you cannot share the font file with others like customer or contractors.
If your client likes to use the fonts on their computers, such as in programs like MS Word, they will need to purchase their own desktop licence.

Are you an organisation with contractors working for you?
The Contractor Extension allows you to provide your Desktop Fonts with contractors, such as design agencies or freelance designers, who are working on projects for your organisation.
Contractors can only use the fonts to create things like your company’s logos and marketing materials.
This setup is for businesses that own the Desktop Licence and hire designers to work on their own brand.
As the Licence Holder, you can’t provide the fonts with contractors for projects outside your company, like client work.
For example, a design agency can’t buy the Contractor Extension and let contractors use it to design for multiple clients.
Make sure the fonts are only installed on the number of computers allowed on your receipt, including both yours and the contractors combined.
Before giving the fonts to contractors, they need to agree in writing to the terms, and you should keep this record for three years after the collaboration ends.
Once their work with you is finished, they’ll need to delete the fonts.
It’s your responsibility to ensure that contractors follow these rules, so please ensure they fully understand the terms.
You can purchase this Extension on the checkout page of our shop.

The Web Licence allows you to use the typeface on your website.
The cost of a Web Licence is calculated based on the number of monthly page views.
A single page view is one request for displaying a page of your website.
The number of monthly page views includes all requests made on your websites within one month.
Please find more information about page views in our notes entry → here.
You can use your Web Licence for an unlimited number of domains belonging to your organization (like www.name.com), as long as your licence covers the total number of page views across all your usage.
If, after purchasing, your websites receive more visits than the number of page views stated on your invoice, you need to upgrade your Web Licence.
We only charge the additional cost to bring you up to the next page view level.
If your website produces documents (such as PDFs), you need to purchase an additional Desktop Licence (your website counts as one computer).
In addition to use on your website, you can also use the Web Fonts in dynamic web-based advertising (HTML5 Ad) and email marketing, as long as your licence covers the total number of monthly page views across all your usage.
A developer can help build your website. This developer can upload the web font to a non-public server like a private GitHub repository and build the website in this environment.
You can help your client purchase a web licence. → Here is how.

With an App Licence, you can embed app fonts in applications such as Android or iOS apps.
One licence covers a single app functionally equivalent across multiple operating systems (e.g., for iOS, Android, MS Windows).
The App Licence has no download or time limits.
In other words, if you want to build an app, just purchase an App Licence.
An app developer can help build your app. This developer can upload the app font to a non-public server like a private GitHub repository and build the app in this environment.
You can help your client purchase a app licence. → Here is how.
