WEB FONTS
Quick guide to using our fonts on the web

We have received many queries about using our typefaces on websites. We are in the process of updating our End User Licence Agreement in order to clarify our position in view of the latest developments in this area. But while the lawyers do their work we want to make sure you can do yours. So here are some helpful notes about our stand regarding font usage for web publishing:

Font embedding in PDF or Flash documents is allowed.
We consider Cufon and sFIR to be other embedding formats and they are also allowed in our EULA.
Using our fonts for a software application such as a game or an installable application usually requires a special licence that has to be tailored for each project.
Posting the font files on a server is not allowed. Hence the use of @font-face is also prohibited.
It will be possible to use some of our fonts via @font-face by subscribing to the services of our partner Typekit. Note that no licence from TypeTogether will be necessary for this.

IMPORTANT: If you would like to discuss a specific kind of use of our fonts and are uncertain, if our EULA allows it, please do not hesitate to contact us.
