It defines how and on which medium a font can be used. Please have a look at our Explainer for more information. license, licenses, licensure, lycence, lycense

A Licence Holder, also called a licensee, is someone who has obtained permission from Luzi Type to use a font under a specific license. This could be an individual, a company, or an organisation. The Licence Holder and Luzi Type have a legal agreement known as the Licence Agreement. The Licence Holder remains the same and cannot be changed. It is not allowed for the Licence Holder to share the licence with others, such as their clients. permittee, assignee, appointee, license, licenses, licensure, lycence, lycense

The licenses you require depend on how you intend to use the font. In our shop, we offer three kind of licenses:

Desktop Licence
A Desktop Licence permits you to use our fonts on a specific number of computers. You can utilise them to create images, PDFs, and videos. There are no limitations on using these creations in print, online, or on television.

Web Licence
A Web Licence enables you to use our fonts on your website. You can utilise the fonts across any number of your domains, up to a specified limit of monthly page views.

App Licence
An App Licence allows you to embed our fonts within one application. You can publish this app on multiple operating systems as long as the functionality remains the same.

For more detailed information, please refer to our Licencing Summary. We also have a German version available, titled Alles über Lizenzierung.

No worries! You can use the Web Fonts across all your business locations. In addition, you can also use them in a private development environment controlled by your organisation, like your own server or a private GitHub repository.

In Web Licences, the numbers 20k and 5m indicate the amount of monthly page views your websites are allowed. When we refer to 20k, it means 20 thousand monthly page views, with ‘k’ representing thousand. Likewise, 5m represents 5 million monthly page views, with ‘m’ indicating million. These figures help determine the appropriate Web Licence based on the expected level of web traffic your websites receive.

Test versions are provided to help you determine if a font is suitable for your project. They are free and accessible to everyone.

However, we have to limit the number of characters included in test versions. We cannot provide the complete font for testing purposes. To ensure fairness for all users, we do not make any exceptions to this rule.

Yes, our fonts do have OpenType features. You can explore and discover these features by checking the last page of our specimens. You can find the specimens in the subpages of each font. Additionally, you can also test the OpenType features using our type tester available on each subpage. tabular, oldstyle, alternate, stylistic set

Some of our fonts offer different versions of specific letters, such as a lowercase g resembling a lowercase y or an uppercase Z with a stroke. You can access these alternate glyphs using the OpenType feature called Stylistic Set.

In Adobe InDesign, you can find the Stylistic Sets options by following these steps:
– Go to the Character panel in the menu
– Click on the options menu (represented by three dots or a small arrow)
– Select OpenType from the menu
– Choose Stylistic Sets and select the desired set, such as Set 1

In Adobe Illustrator, you can find the Stylistic Sets options by following these steps:
– Go to the Type menu
– Select OpenType from the panel
– Look for the button that resembles the letter a in lowercase and click on it

Other design software may also support Stylistic Sets. It’s best to refer to your program’s user manual and search for terms like Stylistic Set or OpenType Features for specific instructions on accessing and using alternate glyphs. tabular, oldstyle, alternate, stylistic set

Yes, our fonts are compatible with Microsoft Office, and you can use features like the italic button and bold button (style linking).

Please keep in mind that when using Word or PowerPoint on Windows, the italic option may not appear in the font menu. This is normal because styles are linked. However, you can still access italics by using the italic button.

In Microsoft Office on Windows, kerning is turned off by default. We recommend manually enabling kerning for better spacing between letters. You can do this by going to the Font Panel and navigating to the Advanced section. MS Office, Ms, Word, Exel, Powerpoint, Microsoft Office

Yes, it is technically possible to embed fonts in MS Office documents, but I would not recommend doing so. There are two aspects to consider when it comes to embedding fonts in MS Office documents.

First, the legal aspect: You are allowed to embed fonts in MS Office documents such as PowerPoint presentations, but these documents can only be used on the computers where you have a Desktop Licence for the fonts. Sharing the embedded font documents with others is not permitted, as the font licences are granted to a single organisation (Licence Holder).

Second, the technical aspect: Embedding fonts in MS Office documents, especially in programs like Word, can cause issues. It increases the file size of your documents, which can become a problem over time. Furthermore, font embedding may not work consistently across different versions of MS Office. I cannot provide support for font embedding in MS Office.

Please do it the conventional way; get a Desktop Licence, install the font on your computers and use it then in programs like Word. MS Office, Ms, Word, Exel, Powerpoint, Microsoft Office

Alternatively, you can also refer to the shop where all the available font weights are listed.

You can purchase Luzi Type fonts exclusively at our our → shop at Luzi-Type.ch.

The minimum quantity for a Desktop Licence is 3 computers. This means that you can use the licence on up to three computers. If you require fewer licenses, the price remains the same within this price bracket. The pricing structure for the number of computers is fixed and cannot be altered. The same applies to the Web Licence and the monthly page views.

Please note that, in order to maintain fairness and consistency, we are unable to make exceptions to this rule. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

A variable font combines multiple weights into a single font file. All our font families (except for Assembly and First Aid Kit) include a variable font version. For more details, please refer to the documentation provided on the sub-pages of each individual typeface.

All single font weights do NOT come with a variable font version.

Often, variable fonts are divided into two separate font files: one for the upright (regular) style and another for the italic style. This division is necessary to achieve the best interpolation and ensure optimal performance of the font.

Currently variable fonts are supported by: macOS 10.5+ / iOS 3.2+ / Windows 10+ / Android 5+.

Installing a variable font is similar to installing any other typeface on your computer. Since a variable font is an extension of the TrueType Format, you can follow the same steps for installation. For detailed instructions on how to install fonts on your computer, please refer to our question: → How to install fonts on my computer?

variable fonts are currently supported by Adobe InDesign 2020, Illustrator CC 2019, and Photoshop CC 2019. In addition to the variable font version, each font also includes a Standard Version with individual font weights (Desktop-, Web-, or App Font). This ensures compatibility across various uses.

While web browsers generally display variable fonts well, there may be some bugs and rendering issues within Design Applications. However, software providers like Adobe are actively working to update their software and address any compatibility issues.

To use Variable Web Fonts on a website, we offer a sample HTML file that demonstrates our recommendations. You can find this file included in both the test fonts and the purchased download package.

Additionally, we have created a web type guide on our → notes, which provides further information and instructions.

Yes, we strive to ensure that our variable fonts are up-to-date and compatible with major design applications, particularly Adobe Applications. As a new technique, there may be occasional updates required to improve the performance and functionality of the fonts. Our goal is to ensure that our variable fonts run smoothly and seamlessly in your design workflow.

You are welcome to convert fonts into paths or pixels and create outline artworks, like in Adobe Illustrator. However, please note that modifying or altering the font file itself (the OTF file) in any way is not permitted. individualisation, individualization, customization, personalisation

We offer font modification and personalisation services depending on the specific case. It’s important to note that customising fonts can be a complex and time-consuming task, given the level of detail involved.
