We think type licensing is too complicated, so the Crescenzi Type licensing model is designed to be as user-friendly as possible. The type of license you should get is based on one thing: the total number of people who work at the company using the font, regardless of number of installations or actual users of the font software. And with that one license, you’re granted the gamut of typical font uses* (e.g. desktop/web/app/broadcast/etc).

This makes it easy for you to freely use the fonts within your organization without having to worry about tracking the number of installations or montly page-views.

*Please read the whole Crescenzi Type EULA before purchasing fonts:

FAQ

How will I recieve the fonts?
After selecting your approriate license and agreeing to the terms of the EULA, you will check out through SendOwl. Payments are processed remotely through Stripe via SendOwl; Crescenzi Type will not see or store your credit card information. As soon as the payment goes through, you should immediately receive a link to download the fonts, as well as another link and receipt in a follow-up email.
 
All of the various font formats (.otf, .ttf, .woff, .woff2) will be contained in a single organized .zip file. If you are purchasing on behalf of a large organization, I recommend uploading the font files to whatever your secure internal file-sharing solution is and distributing them from there, as for security the download link will only remain active for up to 5 downloads or one week (whichever comes first.)
Why license based on company size?
Mostly for simplicity, yours and mine. It’s pretty onerous for a company to have to track the number of font installations or active users, especially in larger organizations. Licensing a whole organization at once hopefully makes staying within the license bounds worry-free for a customer, and it is also much easier for me to verify the correct license has been purchased. You can read a lot more about the thinking behind this approach here.
 
Why merge desktop/web/etc into one license?
Again, for simplicity and customer-friendliness (you’ll notice a theme here!). My background is in branding, and I know building equity in a design system equity requires consistent type usage across all of a company’s experiences. I want to make that possible without overcomplicating the process. I also think it’s extremely burdensome on customers to track monthly page-views, especially since those numbers can fluctuate greatly. I also think new and emergent platforms, and subsequently new places to use fonts, are going to continue to proliferate. I don’t really want to be in the business of drawing up a new license every time something new comes up. One license for everything just makes more sense, even if it possibly means less revenue for me.
Do you offer trial fonts?
Not via this website just yet, but only because I haven’t quite decided on the right strategy — there's some competing philosophies regarding trial fonts, and I’m still weighing my options! Given how nascent the Crescenzi Type library is currently, I haven’t yet made it a priority.
 
I do understand font licensing can represent a substantial investment for an organization, and you may need to “kick the tires” a bit in order to feel confident in such a commitment, or to provide more context to clients or budget-holders. If this describes you, please send me an email at type@crescenzi.co with the request and we can figure it out — I’m thrilled you are considering my fonts! I will have a more formal process for this soon.
So where can’t I use the fonts?
There’s only a couple of limitations under the Crescenzi Type license. Please don’t resell the font. Please don’t modify, rename or otherwise alter the font software files (if you need something customized, reach out!). And don’t make products with my fonts that sell the font in other forms (e.g. stencils, refridgerator letter magnets, house numbers, alphabet soup, that sort of thing). If you WANT to do that, cool! But let’s get you set up with a custom license first. Please read the whole EULA.
 
Also, please don’t use my fonts for anything illegal, or for purposes promoting the hatred of or violence against people based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation or gender identity. We aim for good vibes over here.
Can I buy just one style of a font?
Sure! Just send me an email at type@crescenzi.co and we can get you set up. I haven’t enabled single-font purchasing within the website natively because it means a significantly more complex store to design and build, and between you and me I’m a poor web developer. If there turns out to be significant interest in single styles, I will make the investment in expanding the shop’s capabilities.
What font formats am I getting?
You will get .otf fonts for desktop installation, .woff and .woff2 for webfont installation, and a .ttf version that contains the variable font format (if applicable). These files should cover the overwhelming majority of use-cases, but if you have some niche specific need that requires a different format, please reach out.
What’s a variable font?
Variable fonts are an emergent technology, wrapped in the TrueType (.ttf) format, which allows a user of the font to specifiy any specific instance in-between the provided styles. For example, imagine a type family’s Light weight being a value of 200, and it’s Regular weight being a value of 400. A varaible font would allow you to choose a value of 267, and you would have a unique instance of the font somewhere visually in-between Light and Regular. The same thinking can apply to other variables like width or italic angle, or even multiple variables combined. It’s very cool technology and I enjoy designing fonts with this capability in mind. But it’s also in it’s infancy, so any Crescenzi Type font that includes a variable version should be considered in beta, and I can’t guarantee compatibility with any platform.
 
Currently, variable font technology is accessible (though occasionally buggy) in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign, Figma, and can also be specified within webfonts using CSS. Some other design software can utilize variable fonts via third-party plugins, and others are actively working towards incorporating the technology as it becomes more widely used.
 
My only rule with my variable fonts is please don’t derive new static instances of Crescenzi Type fonts.
