FAQ
Can I use the Personal license for a logo?
Only if it’s for a personal, non-commercial project that will not represent a business and will not be used to sell anything.
If the logo is for a business, use Commercial.
Can I post my design on Instagram?
Yes, if the post is non-commercial and you’re not being paid for the project.
If it’s client work or part of a business campaign, use Commercial.
Can I use it on YouTube thumbnails?
If your channel is monetized or used to promote a business, use Commercial.
If it’s purely personal and not monetized, Personal is fine.
Can I email the font file to a friend?
No. Sharing the font files is redistribution. Send them to FontDept so they can download their own copy.
