SELECTED LICENSE / DESKTOP

Desktop License

For finished print and digital artwork. Choose a Desktop package based on the number of devices.

Solo: up to 3 devices. Studio: up to 15 devices.
Company: unlimited devices.

01 License grant

Your purchase grants the licensed users permission to install and use the font software to create finished designs within the recorded scope. Ownership of the font software remains with its rights holder; purchasing a license does not transfer ownership.

02 Users & installation

Solo permits installation on up to 3 devices. Studio permits installation on up to 15 devices. Company permits installation on unlimited devices. Choose a package covering your installations before exceeding its device limit.

03 Permitted use

Create print materials, packaging, presentations and documents. You may also create static social media or advertising graphics. Logo or wordmark use requires a separate Logo / Brand License. Deliver finished artwork as images, outlines or other non-editable output that does not expose the font files.

04 Sharing & client handoff

Do not share or distribute the font files to unlicensed colleagues, clients or third parties. A client who needs to edit a design using the fonts must obtain their own license. Share finished artwork rather than the font software.

05 Uses outside this license

Web or app embedding and editable templates require separate permission. Merchandise and broadcast uses require a scope review. Do not publicly distribute font files. Logo or wordmark use requires a separate Logo / Brand License. Static social graphics and static advertising images are covered by Desktop; dynamic embedded ads require Digital Ads permission.

Do not resell, sublicense or redistribute the font software, or make it available as a standalone download. Any permission to modify the software or use it beyond the purchased scope must be confirmed in writing.

07 Your order & custom agreements

Your order records the font family, styles and Desktop package you purchased. Keep your order confirmation as proof of license. Any agreed custom scope must be documented in a written agreement with Magnatype.
