FAQ

Yes, discounts are applied automatically at checkout.

Can I purchase single styles?
Yes, of course. Simply scroll to the list of syles on the font family page, select the style you want and click the BUY button. A window will open that will give you options of the three available licences (Desktop, Web, or App). Select the desired licence and either click on ‘Check Out’ or ‘Browse More Fonts’. If you want to add another style of the same family or of another font family, then click 'Browse More Fonts' and repeat the selection process. All of the single styles will be added to your cart and discounts are applied automatically at checkout.

Can I return a typeface after purchase?
If you have not downloaded and installed the font files on your computer and you notify us within 24 hours after your purchase, you may request an exchange or a refund. If the font file is defective and you are not able to install it, notify us within 30 days after purchase and we will replace it.

I bought the wrong font by accident. Can I exchange it?
If the font has not been downloaded to your computer and you notify us within 24 hours after your purchase, we are able to exchange it.

If I buy one style now, can I upgrade to get the entire family later at a discounted price?
Yes, the price of the previously purchased licence will be taken into account. If you are ready to do so, please email the original purchase receipt to [email protected] and let us know what you'd like to do.

Do you grant discounts to NGOs?
Yes, we offer a 25% discount to NGOs. Please contact us at [email protected] with your NGO credentials.

Do you offer volume discounts?
You bet we do! Just like buying in bulk from a store, the more styles and users you need, the cheaper the per-style price will be. Discounts are generated automatically at checkout.

May I use a copy of TypeTogether fonts for free for my student project?
Yes, we usually grant a temporary licence for student projects that are non-commercial and form part of the curriculum. Please contact us at [email protected].

I am a student or educator. Am I eligible for a discount?
Yes, we offer a 50% discount to everyone involved in academia, whether student or educator. Contrary to the temporary licence as mentioned in the previous question collapsed, this educational licence allows you to use the fonts in commercial projects. Please send us a request from your academic email account to [email protected] with exact details about the typeface you would like to purchase, including the weights needed.

I am an educator and we would like to use one of your typefaces for a school project with the students. Can I use one of your typefaces?
You can use one of our free fonts, buy one with a 25% discount, or send us an email describing the project; we may grant a free temporary licence for the project.

Do you offer free fonts?
Yes, we have several free fonts available in our font library, e.g. Birdy, Jockey, one style of Abril, and some styles of Bree Serif.

Where can I find the purchase receipt?
Log into your account on the TypeTogether website and go to ‘My purchases’. All receipts are recorded here.

What font formats will I receive?
If you purchase a desktop licence or an app licence, you will receive OTF, which is the current industry standard OpenType Font format. If purchasing a webfont, the licences included are WOFF, WOFF2, EOT, and SVG. We will update our catalogue with additional file types as new formats become standard.

Do I have to pay VAT?
TypeTogether is a company registered in the Czech Republic and is legally obliged to charge Value Added Tax (VAT) on sales and services within the European Union (EU). If you reside outside the EU, VAT will not be charged. If you have a company registered in the EU, then add your VAT number in your account and VAT will be set to 0% automatically.

What payment methods are accepted?
The easiest method is to pay by credit card. We accept the most common credit cards: VISA, Mastercard, and VISA Electron. You may also choose to pay via PayPal. Please note that you do not need a PayPal account to pay through PayPal. If you don't own a credit card or don't want to use PayPal, you can pay via bank transfer. Please contact us at [email protected] for more information.

Can I order and pay for fonts via an invoice?
Yes, please email [email protected] indicating which fonts you would like to purchase and your business address, including VAT number (in Europe only). We will then prepare the invoice with payment details.

In most cases the general license is enough, but when it comes to certain usages of the fonts, such as marketing products (eg t-shirts or mugs), feature films, TV, games etc, you will need tp purchase an additional upgrade license customised to your needs and to your audience. Please take a look here in our FAQs, see our EULA for specific details or contact us at [email protected].

Our fonts are released as OpenType, which is the current industry standard. On request we can send you TTF for free and any other legacy format for a small fee.

What is OpenType (OT)?
OpenType is a typographical format that allows more flexibility and the storage of cubic or quadratic Bézier curves. In the second half of the 1990s, Adobe® and Microsoft® got together to create OpenType, the typographical format that is replacing (and at the time of writing this, has replaced to a large extent) TrueType and PostScript Type 1–3 fonts.
With OpenType, one single font can store up to 65,000 glyphs; it is compatible with Unicode, which means multiple-script systems can be stored in one single font; it is multi-platform (it works in MacOs, Windows, and Linux), and it is ‘intelligent’: the so-called OpenType functions allow the application of a series of necessary characteristics for the correct representation of languages and writing systems used beyond the Western world. In addition, it allows the possibility of a series of typographical refinements.

What are OpenType features?
OpenType allows some added characteristics to the typefaces and typographic refinements, but it also enables the correct representation of writing systems other than Latin. OpenType functions allow: contextual and local substitutions, ligatures and discretional ligatures, reordering of characters, positioning, bidirectionality, typographic refinements: different sets of figures, small caps, fractions, ordinals, superiors, inferiors, and much more.

Do all TypeTogether fonts have the same OpenType features?
Not necessarily. Each typeface is designed as a solution to a particular problem (for continuous reading on screen, or to save space in headlines) so they respond to particular needs. The online specimens included in all our typefaces show all the Open Type features, activated and deactivated.

I don't know if my software supports OpenType features. How can I tell?
OpenType fonts are widely supported, but some software might not recognise the OpenType features. Adobe and QuarkXpress are working to make them more accessible, and InDesign, Illustrator, PhotoShop, and QuarkXPress include panels to select glyphs and Open Type functions. (See: Adobe, QuarkXpress 2016)
Apple is also working to fully support OpenType features. In Apple applications like Pages, Keynote, and TextEdit, you can bring up the Typography panel (under Format > Font > Show Fonts > Settings wheel > Typography, or in some programs, selecting Command–T will bring up the Typography panel).
Since Microsoft Word 2010 and higher versions, it is also possible to access limited OpenType Features (choose Format > Font > Advanced).  

How can I install the fonts in my computer?
Mac OS X and Windows have made the installation of fonts very easy. Just double-click on the font file and click on Install. Both platforms provide information on how to install and manage fonts: Apple, Windows XP and Windows. 
If you are using a third-party app for font management, we recommend checking their support documentation.

Can I install fonts on my mobile phone or my tablet?
Some operating systems allow fronts to be installed or changed, (e.g. in Android). On iOS, a paid app called AnyFont will allow font installation on the OS for use in some apps.
