Licensing
What’s a font license?
When you buy my fonts, you’re actually purchasing a licence to use them, rather than owning them outright. The fonts remain the intellectual property of Jamie Clarke Type Ltd, but the licence gives you the freedom to use them as outlined in the terms.
Do you offer other licenses than desktop, web or app?
Yes. I offer e.g. unlimited/enterprise licences for companies as well as licences for broadcasting use, digital ads or hardware. Please send an email to [email protected] to confidentially discuss the project and usage of the fonts.
Can I share my licence with somebody else?
Only third parties, working on your behalf, and using the font exclusively for your company (e.g. an advertising agency or printer). The fonts must only be used for the duration of the collaboration, with all copies deleted upon the project’s completion.
Can I sell or transfer my licence to another person or business?
No. The person or business must purchase their own licence.
Buying Fonts
I’ve ordered the wrong licence – what now?
No problem! Send an email to [email protected] with the font in question and the invoice.
Why are the font prices shown in US dollars?
USD is the most widely used currency for purchasing fonts. However, my payment system, Stripe, accepts a broad range of currencies, so you can pay in the one that works best for you.
Using my Fonts
Can I use your fonts in logos?
Yes. To use the font in a logo, you simply need a desktop licence. If your logotype needs refining, just let me know – I can perfect it, ready for its debut.
Can I use your fonts in e-books/e-pub?
Yes. To use the font in an e-book, you simply need a desktop licence. Embedding in e-publications is only allowed as long as the document is secure, view-only, and cannot be edited.
Can I use your desktop fonts on the web?
No. Please purchase a specific web licence.
Can I use your fonts in a third-party web font service?
Unfortunately not, due to third-party security issues.
Can I make changes to your font files or adapt them for my brand?
No. If you open my font files in an editor, you break our agreement. If you want to customise one of my fonts, you must contact me.
Font Files
What font formats do you send?
For desktop fonts, I ship .otf. For web fonts, I ship .woff and .woff2. For app fonts, I ship .otf. Where available, I also offer variable fonts.

Custom Font Licensing
Do you need a company-wide license or specific permissions for web, app, or broadcast use? Get in touch for a confidential chat, and I’ll tailor a custom license to fit your exact needs.
Enterprise licenses are among the most commonly requested, providing comprehensive coverage across your business. They offer flexibility and peace of mind as your company grows, ensuring full compliance and avoiding any risk of infringement.
License fees are typically calculated on factors such as the number of font styles required (e.g., Regular, Bold, Italic) and the intended usage (e.g., web, broadcast, server).
