Frequently Asked Questions

Will I receive a physical product?
No. Gumroad delivers one ZIP digital download after checkout. No physical item is shipped.
Which font format should I install?
Install either the TTF or OTF for each style, not both. Use WOFF2 for a website and WOFF as a fallback. Application support for OpenType features varies.
Can I use the fonts commercially?
Yes. The single-user license covers finished personal and commercial artwork, client deliverables, physical merchandise, one website owned by the licensed individual, and read-only document embedding.
Can I share the font files with a client or teammate?
No. Additional users and clients who need reusable font files require their own license. Resale, redistribution, editable templates, and app, game, ebook, or server embedding require separate permission.
Is there still a free edition?
Yes. The free single-style edition includes TTF, OTF, WOFF, and WOFF2 files and already permits commercial work, embedding, modification, and free sharing under its no-resale license. The paid family adds the listed styles and OpenType features under a separate single-user license; it is not a purchase required to use the free edition commercially.
