FAQ
Font Licensing
Anyone who use the fonts must purchase a license. Clients who will use the fonts for advertising or as part of their visual identity must purchase a license even if they do not install the fonts.
At blackletra.com we offer crossmedia licenses that cover Desktop, Web and App at the same time. There is no way to purchase desktop licenses or webfont licenses separately at this site. We have one multi-purpose EULA covering those uses, including Trial fonts use. For other specific uses such as video games, films, TV/series or to embed the fonts in hardware/software (OEM), a specific license must be acquired. We believe that this makes licensing easy and simple for you, but if you need something special please do not hesitate to contact us.
Choosing your license
It depends. The basic license allows you to create logos for companies that have up to 500 employees. However, if the company has 500 employees or more, it is necessary to purchase a specific license, please contact us by email for more information.
You just have to indicate the number of employees of the Licensing organization. If you are a freelancer, you can buy a license for 1 employee. If your client will also use the fonts or if the fonts will be part of the client’s visual identity, they need to purchase a license as well.
No. To use in video games, films, TV/series, to embed the fonts in hardware/software (OEM) or to use in logos for companies with more than 500 employees, a special license is required. Please contact us by email: info@blackletra.com
You can install the fonts on the number of computers needed to meet the number of employees in the licensing company.
Limitations
My client has purchased a license and wants to be able to send the fonts to external collaborators, is it possible?
In order for your client to be able to do this, they must purchase a license addendum. Please ask your client to send us an email: info@blackletra.com
No. You could use it while you were an employee, now you need to purchase your own licenses.
You can’t modify the fonts by yourself but you can hire us to do that for you, please email us explaining your needs: info@blackletra.com
Renting the fonts for a small fraction of the retail price on Fontstand App is the best option for you. At Fontstand you can also test the fonts for free for 3 hours. You can also use our Trial fonts on educational projects. A license must be purchased when the fonts are going to be used on commercial projects.
Yes but public .pdf files may only be created if the font is embedded in such a way that the reader is restricted from changing its embedding permissions, extracting the font from the document, and creating or editing new content using the fonts. This is because a substantial part of the font source code is embedded into a document when creating .pdf files.
Clients can use our fonts in electronic publications so long as they have stated the size of the licensing organization correctly, measured in number of employees. Please check our EULA.

Yes, check our homepage. Alternatively you can try for free and rent our fonts for just a fraction of the retail price using the Fontstand App.
We can’t refund money on font license purchases. There is no way for us to verify that you no longer hold copies of the font software, so we cannot provide a refund. If the font software is defective please email us and it will be replaced by the same software if accompanied with purchase receipt and we are notified within 10 days of purchase.
Upon a successful payment, you will receive an email with your receipt and the required font files in a .zip folder (always check your spam filters). You will also be able to download the font files at any time in your personal account on our website.
Yes but only if you both comply with the terms of our licence.
Uploading the desktop font data (.otf) to web servers is strictly prohibited, as well as the conversion of it to webfonts (.eot, .woff). You are allowed to convert the desktop fonts to images (.gif, .jpg, .png) or use the fonts in Flash websites.
We offer fonts primarily in CFF-flavored OpenType format (.otf), which is a cross-platform format that will work on Mac and PC. For web we offer webfonts (.woff). If you need something else, please get in touch.
