Guides
Guides to selling fonts, for type foundries.
Our studio has built and run shops for type foundries for years, before Typetin. These guides are what we tell a foundry deciding how to sell its fonts, whichever tool it ends up using.
- How to sell fonts online: a guide for type foundries: the four routes a type foundry can sell through, compared.
- How to choose where to sell fonts: 25 questions: the 25 questions to ask any service before you move your shop.
- Keep a custom foundry website, change the back office: keeping your own site with a different back office behind it.
- How to price font licences: a guide for foundries: setting a base price, licence multipliers, family bundles, terms, quotes, discounts and prices per currency.
- Font EULA checklist: what a foundry’s licence needs: the clauses a font EULA covers, and how to version it without breaking old sales.
- Webfont licences by pageviews, for foundries: defining, counting and enforcing web font licences sold by monthly pageviews.
- Font royalty splits between a foundry’s designers: how a label or collective divides each sale between its designers, and what a royalty statement should show.
- Font fingerprinting: what a font watermark proves: what a watermark in a font deters and proves, how it is stripped, and how to handle a leaked file.
The glossary defines the words of font licensing, from bundle to webhook.
