-
Yes! Logos and static brand graphics are fully permitted across every license tier.
-
Yes, you may trademark a logo that uses CCSType fonts—but only the unique design of the logo, not the font itself. Trademark protections cover the specific visual arrangement you create (logo shape, style, color), not the font's inherent design.
⚠️ Important: Simply typing a name in a standard CCSType font without distinctive design elements is unlikely to qualify as trademarkable. You’ll need to add sufficient creative flair for registry success
-
Since CCSType offers exactly two tiers for web use—10K pageviews/month or 100K pageviews/month—you would need to purchase two 100K Webfont Licenses to legally cover your 200,000 monthly pageviews (total = 200K).
- ✅ Within 100K views/month per license: you're covered.
- ❌ Exceeding that (even once in a month) means you're out of compliance and must secure additional licenses before continuing use.
- 💡 Tip: Always choose the tier that meets or exceeds your current monthly average—not just peaks—so usage remains compliant throughout the billing period.
-
No—regardless of the license you buy (Desktop, Webfont, etc.), you'll receive the same set of font files packaged with your download (e.g., OTF, TTF, WOFF). The difference lies in how you're allowed to use them, not in the files themselves .
- If a font includes both desktop (OTF/TTF) and web (WOFF/WOFF2) formats and you purchase a Webfont License, you’re only allowed to use those files in ways permitted under the Webfont License—namely, embedding them via @font-face on your website within your pageview tier.
- Similarly, if you purchase a Desktop License, you can only use those files for desktop-related purposes (installing on computers for print, static images, logos), even though you have access to webfont formats with your download.
💡 Bottom line:
The files are the same, but your license determines what's allowed—not which files you receive.
-
No—unless the client purchases their own matching license. Any agents of the licensee must destroy fonts after completing work.
-
✅ App, ePub, or Enterprise Licenses
- You are allowed to subset (remove unused glyphs), convert formats (e.g., OTF → WOFF), and optimize fonts for embedding in apps, eBooks, or large-scale deployments.
- These licenses permit such modifications only to improve performance or reduce file size—they remain locked to your application or publication and must not be shared as standalone font files.
❌ Desktop License
- Editing visual outlines is allowed in your final outputs (e.g., vector outlines in Illustrator), such as deforming, merging letters, or tweaking letter shapes for a logo or print layout.
- However, you cannot modify the font file itself—meaning no direct edits inside font editors or saving a new version of the font. That’s considered a derivative font and requires explicit written permission.
-
Not required—feel free to use fonts without visible branding or credit.
However, if you’d like to share your projects with us, we’d love it!
-
You must upgrade to a larger license (e.g., higher impressions, users, titles). Exceeding without upgrade breaches license and requires removal of the font.
-
We don’t offer refunds once a font file is downloaded. Since digital files are impossible to revoke, we assume you retain a copy.
- 🛑 No refunds — aligning with standard practices in the font industry
- ✅ Exceptions: If there's a proven technical malfunction (e.g. corrupted file), contact us within 7 days, and we’ll either provide a fixed file or issue a refund.
