General Questions Regarding Font Usage
You license all your fonts as donationware, what does it mean?
My vision is to provide good fonts with affordable price for everyone. I never know how much my fonts help, thus, I don't set a specific price. I license them as donationware so people can just pay the amount I deserve. Every donation is greatly appreciated.
Can I use your fonts commercially?
After donating, you can use my fonts commercially.
P.S.: I am interested in knowing how my fonts are used. I will be glad to receive emails, links, pictures, or blog comments about how you use them. :)
Can I use your fonts without donating?
Yes, all my fonts are absolutely free for these criteria:
- Personal use
- Non-profit use (even if it is commercial, such as low-budget projects or events)
- Charity or fundraising program
- Educational use, including fundraising for education
If your use fits the criteria mentioned, no donation is needed. I hope the fonts help. If you want to support me, you can do other things instead, such as crediting me as the author, following my social media channels, or simply commenting on my blog. Good feedbacks really trigger me to do better in this scene. (Seriously, lack of money won't make me quit from this scene, but the absence of feedbacks will).
I want to use them to make profits, but I don't have much money right now.
I do support start-up business, as well as newcomer designers who are struggling with funding. If you want to use it commercially, you can even donate later when you've already gained the profit. I hope the fonts help.
Can I use your fonts for everything?
Even though I mention that you can use my fonts commercially after donation, there are several products you should not use my fonts for:
- Illegal products such as infringement
- Alcoholic drink products such as gin or wine
- Cigarette or vape products
- Pornography contents
- Gambling services
You can use my fonts for other than the list of products mentioned above.
I use your fonts for a client, can I get a written proof to legally use them?
I don't make any license. However, if you need a written proof, I can make an invoice or sign a pact instead. Kindly
contact me for that.
Company Issues
We want to use your font commercially, but our company does not consider donation a legal purchase.
I can make you an invoice and consider your donation as a payment. As it is of course still a donationware, you decide the amount. Kindly
contact me for that.
Can we get the license for using your font commercially?
I don't make any license. However, I think that an invoice telling you have purchased the font will suffice as a written proof. Alternatively, I can sign a pact you made if you want it.
We want you to not give any public indication of the relationship between us.
Yes, I can sign that kind of pacts. Kindly
contact me for that.
Do you take commission works?
Yes, I can make custom fonts, logos, or murals by order. Kindly
contact me for that.
Frequently not asked questions
What is your ideology?
I want to help people and make a better world by doing what I can. So, as long as you use the fonts for supporting good things, do not worry much about the permission or donation, because I will definitely support it. I hope my fonts will not be used for supporting bad things.
Nonetheless, to be honest, I do not care much about disrespectful usages of my fonts. I do believe in ethics more than law.
