Static commercial and non-commercial designs, including logos, print, packaging, merchandise, images, slides, and rendered video.
Webfonts, apps, games, e-books, software, devices, servers, SaaS, editable templates, personalization, and similar embedding uses.
Sharing or modifying the font, making reusable alphabet products, or using it or its rendered visual elements to train AI or machine-learning models.
Commercial or non-commercial, once the type is fixed.
You may create finished materials in which the lettering is fixed artwork and the font software is not distributed. These examples are illustrative, not exhaustive:
The included license is for one natural person.
The licensed user may install and use the font on computers under that person’s control. If a colleague, employee, contractor, agency, or client needs to install or use the font, that person should obtain an authorized copy and accept their own license.
Do not place the working font on a shared server, shared network folder, cloud-font library, or digital asset system. A private backup that other people cannot access is fine.
Larger organizations, centrally managed installations, or multi-user workflows may need a separate agreement.
The free desktop license does not cover embedding or font services.
These uses are not covered by the included desktop license. Before proceeding, visit the Typodermic licensing page for guidance:
Any use that serves or embeds the font in a website.
Embedding in an app, game, plug-in, program, or software product.
Templates, themes, design systems, or files that let others edit or compose text with the font.
Server installation, SaaS, generators, personalization, print-on-demand, or user-generated-content services.
Sold or commercial electronic publications that contain embedded font software.
Operating systems, firmware, hardware, vehicles, kiosks, or other products that include the font.
“It’s a PDF” is not enough to determine the license.
A commercial PDF can be a permitted finished material when its lettering has been converted to outlines or pixels and the PDF contains no font software.
The included license has a narrow exception for a non-commercial PDF when the embedded font cannot be extracted, the text cannot be edited through the embedded font, and readers cannot use it to compose new text.
An e-book, sold publication, or commercial PDF containing embedded font software requires a separate written license.
Please keep the font itself intact and private.
Ordinary use of AI-powered software is not automatically prohibited. The restriction applies when the font or material derived from it is supplied as training or development material for a model. See the EULA for the exact rule.

Extract the ZIP file, select the font files, right-click, and choose Install. Depending on your version of Windows, you can also open a font file and select Install.
