Learn what to do if a foundry contacts you requesting you purchase a license for a font you’re using from the Adobe Fonts library.
Font appears on your website without proper embed code
To display fonts on your website, you must use the embed code provided in your account to ensure proper licensing. Without this embed code, the font isn’t recognized as licensed for web use. For detailed instructions, refer to web font licensing and general font licensing.
Font embedded in a software application
Adobe Fonts licensing doesn’t permit embedding fonts directly in software applications. Learn more about web app restrictions and mobile or desktop app limitations to ensure compliance.
Font shared with an unlicensed third party
Sharing fonts with agencies, designers, printers, or other vendors without their own license may be considered unlicensed use. Review the guidelines on packaging fonts and producing work for a client.
Adobe Fonts Terms of Use allows both personal and commercial use for most design purposes. However, not all specific use cases are covered.
If you’ve been contacted by a foundry and want to confirm whether your usage complies with Adobe Fonts licensing, email us at font-misuse@adobe.com.
