FAQs

What is the difference between standard and extended licence?

Standard License ⟶ For branding, print & web

You can use the font for:

  • Logos & branding
  • Print (books, posters,
    packaging, etc.)
  • Websites (self-hosted webfonts)
  • Social media & ads
  • Client projects

You cannot use it for:

  • Apps, games or software
  • E-books or digital products
    for sale
  • Products where the font is embedded and distributed
  • TV, film or streaming

Extended ⟶ For apps, software & digital products

Includes everything in the Standard License, plus:

  • Apps & games
  • SaaS & software UI
  • E-books
  • Templates & digital products
  • Streaming, film & broadcast

If the font is part of a product that is shipped, downloaded or sold → you need the Extended License.

But what’s about seats or traffic?

We just want to make it easy for you. We don’t count seats or traffic. 

Do I have to pay for updates?

Nope. All future updates and expansions are included in the Family license.

Do my clients need a license?

Short answer ⟶ Sometimes — but only if they actually use the font.

My client does NOT need a license if:

  • you design a one-off project (poster, ad, invitation, greeting card)
  • the font is only used in delivered artwork
  • the font files are not handed over
  • the client does not install or reuse the font

My client DOES need a license if:

  • the font becomes part of the corporate identity
  • the client wants to install and use the font internally
  • the font is shared with other agencies or partners
  • the font is used long-term as part of a brand system

Who should buy the license?

  • The party that uses and installs the font should be the license holder.
  • In most branding projects, this is the client / brand, not the designer.

What’s the easiest solution?

Design first.
If the font becomes part of the brand → the client purchases their own license from Schfonts.
