Type Network
Type Network provides font licensing, downloads, typography advice, and design services for businesses and organizations.
What Type Network is
Type Network provides font licensing, downloads, typography advice, and design services for businesses and organizations. Its catalog brings together type designers from nearly 100 foundries in 15 countries, and includes scripts beyond Latin. Licensing options cover desktop, web, ePub, app, and server use, as well as team and enterprise arrangements. Desktop licenses allow downloaded fonts to be installed on a computer for applications including Microsoft Office/365, Adobe Creative Cloud, Canva, and Figma, subject to licensing exceptions. Web fonts can be served through Type Network’s CDN or downloaded for self-hosting; web licenses use a selected pageview allocation, with an upgrade request if usage exceeds it by more than 25%. Hosted web fonts have a free 30-day trial, but no files are provided during the trial. App licenses permit embedding or bundling fonts, with a separate license for each app title; the same app for multiple operating systems needs one license. Services include custom typeface development, font customization, language expansion, variable fonts, lettering, and consulting. Type Network launched in 2016 and is based in Brooklyn, New York.
