Licenses
Ten licenses, written for people.
Every font on typodojo sells from the same set of licenses. Sellers choose which to offer and set their own prices. The terms are the same everywhere, in plain language, and versioned.

Certificates
Every license has a certificate.
A certificate names the font, the license, the holder and the date, and carries an ID that matches the one stamped into the font file. Make your own for any house font from its page.
Rules every license shares.
So a buyer never has to read the fine print twice.
Forever
PerpetualLicenses last forever for the stated use and include updates within the same major version.
Kept close
No sharingFiles may go to a printer, contractor or agency working on your licensed project, who must not keep them afterward. Open fonts follow the OFL instead.
Yours
Belongs to the buyerA license belongs to the workspace that bought it and transfers only with the sale of the business or product it covers.
Made is made
Outputs stay licensedA printed poster, a shipped product or a published video stays licensed forever.
Pay the difference
UpgradesAn upgrade replaces the earlier license and charges only the price difference.
Fixed terms
VersionedEvery license records the terms in force when it was issued. Later changes never alter an existing agreement.
Verification
Prove your rights with a link.
Every license has a public page showing the font, the license, its scope, the licensee (if they allow it) and its status. Anyone who finds the font in use can trace it back. Every file carries its license ID and a link to its page, and stamping never changes your outlines, spacing or metrics.

Pro watermarks, coming soon
Your font, signed.
Pro fonts carry an invisible signature that identifies the font and its maker. It never identifies the people who use it, and typodojo never reports on documents set in your type.
