A few common questions.
Can I use your fonts for a logo?
Yes. Every paid font includes a Standard Desktop License, which allows you to create logos, wordmarks, and visual identities for commercial use.
Can I trademark a logo made with your fonts?
Yes. Logos created with a properly licensed BN Type Foundry font may be registered as trademarks. Your trademark belongs to you; ownership of the font software remains with BN Type Foundry.
When do I need an Additional User License?
An upgrade is required when more people need to install or use the font files than your license allows. Paid font purchases include up to 2 users.
Choose a tier covering your total number of users. For example, a team of 3 needs the 5-user tier.
Do my clients need their own license?
Your Desktop License covers delivering finished artwork to clients, including logos, packaging, and static graphics.
If a client needs to install or use the font files, they need their own license. Your team’s user allowance does not extend to a separate client company.
Website embedding, app embedding, and other licensed uses require the applicable upgrade.
Do I need a separate license for every font?
Individual font upgrades cover one typeface each. A bundle upgrade provides the selected coverage for all fonts included in one named bundle.
If you only need broader rights for one or two fonts from a bundle, you can purchase individual upgrades for those fonts instead.
