Font licensing is confusing, and sometimes I struggle with how to decide, but here at TAFT (Tural Alisoy Fonts) Foundry, we try to keep things simple.
We make no distinction between desktop, web, software, video, software, server, digital advertising/emails, or e-book licenses. The type of license you should purchase depends on only one factor: the number of people employed by the company using the font. You can use the font for your own non-commercial project for free. Just write to us. If you use a font for a client's project, you must obtain a license from them or on their behalf.
To get a license, you need to know how many people work in the company you are buying from. No need to count desktops or track monthly page views. This way, we link the value of the fonts directly to the value they create without overcomplicating the process.
Why merge desktop, app, web, e-book, video and all those other licenses?
More and more people are using fonts in ever varying ways. It puts undue burden on customers to ask to track monthly page-views, or how to distinguish between apps and web-apps, and so forth. We accept a potential loss in revenue by not micromanaging user licenses, in exchange for giving you a more comprehensive experience. And besides, making the terms simpler makes it more likely that our customers can abide by them.
Do I need to buy a license for myself to work on my client’s project?
No! Your client is the person/company that uses the font, and as such they are the license holder. This license covers any subcontractors who use the font on behalf of the license holding company.
For instance: if you are a graphic designer using the font for your client’s logo, simply purchase the license in your client’s name (or have them buy it), and done. Keep in mind that you may not use the font for any purposes not directly related to the work you do for your client; for this you need to purchase a license of your own.

Can I use the fonts anywhere after purchasing a license?
Yes, almost! There are a few specific uses that are not covered by the license, such as use in commercial products designed to reproduce the typeface, such as stencils or stamps. Almost all common uses (logos, print, editorial work, web fonts, apps, e-books, etc.) are covered to keep things as simple as possible. Remember, the license you purchase is for one project only. One a new project means a new license. We ask that you take basic safety precautions when importing web fonts, by only using WOFF or WOFF2 files as web fonts, and subroutine whenever possible.
What counts as an employee when determining the license tier?
When counting a business’ number of employees to determine the proper license, you should include owner(s) and board members, as well as all full-time employees. Part time employees and contractors don’t need to be considered.

Do I ever need to renew or upgrade my license?
This license remains valid in perpetuity. If your company outgrows its license tier, the original license will remain valid. Fewer headaches for everyone involved.
