What can I use Typographer for?
Typographer is designed to make exploring and testing fonts easy and safe within your design process. Here’s what your subscription covers:
- Prototyping and creative work: You can use fonts freely in mock-ups, comps, tests, and private pitch materials for yourself or for a client. Fonts can be shared as part of non-extractable previews with clients, so they can see your ideas before you commit.
- Testing on websites: Your subscription includes testing fonts on a single preview, staging, or other non-production website, with up to 5,000 pageviews per month. When you are ready to deploy your website, purchase a standalone web license for production use.
For any public release, commercial project, or larger-scale usage, you can purchase the right license directly from the foundry when you’re ready to launch.
Refer to the End User Licensing Agreement for full details on what types of use are allowed under your Typographer subscription.
Do I need an account to browse fonts?
No. Anyone can browse, preview, or purchase fonts on Typographer without creating an account. An account is only required if you want to sync fonts, use the Typographer hosted webfont service, or add fonts to your library.
What does "sync" mean?
Syncing installs fonts from Typographer directly into your operating system, so any app that relies on system fonts can access them without manual downloads or installs.
Can I use Typographer fonts in my design apps?
Yes. Fonts can be synced directly and will work in apps like Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, and other supported platforms for easy trial and prototyping. Select the fonts you want to use in Typographer, and they will appear in your design tools automatically.
Which tools work with Typographer?
Typographer syncs fonts to your operating system. Most apps that read system fonts will pick them up automatically—like Figma (desktop), Adobe Creative Cloud apps, Sketch, Affinity, and Microsoft Office.
Which tools don’t work with Typographer?
Typographer-synced fonts won’t appear in Font Book or other system font managers. They also can’t be used in apps like Canva that require you to upload font files directly.
Most other design and productivity apps that read system fonts will work as expected.
Does Typographer support Windows or iOS?
Typographer is currently available only on macOS. Windows and mobile platforms (iOS/Android) aren’t supported yet.
How do I know if a font is synced?
Once the font family shows as “Synced” in the Typographer desktop app, open the design tool you’re using — the font should appear in your menus. In some cases, you may need to restart the design app (not Typographer).
I’m not seeing a font in my design tool — why not?
- Make sure the Typographer desktop app is open and the font shows as synced to your computer.
- Restart your design app to refresh the font menu.
- Some tools don’t support Typographer-synced fonts (e.g. Font Book, Canva).
If you’ve tried these steps and the font still isn’t appearing, contact us.
How do I use webfonts on my site?
When you add a webfont, Typographer provides a code snippet you can
insert into your site’s code. For example, in HTML/CSS you’ll paste
the code inside your <head>
tag. Many platforms like WordPress or Squarespace also have settings or
plugins where you can insert custom font code.
Your Typographer subscription includes testing fonts on a single preview, staging, or other non-production website, with up to 5,000 pageviews per month. When you are ready to deploy your website, purchase a standalone web license or upgrade.
How do I license fonts for commercial use?
Typographer is for testing and exploration. If you’d like to use a font in a commercial project (web, app, or desktop), you’ll need a full license from the foundry. Visit the font’s page on Typographer.com and select “Buy” to see the licensing options.
What is the refund policy?
This policy covers font licenses purchased through Typographer. If you’re not satisfied with the license you have purchased, we’re here to help. Please contact us within 30 days of your purchase to let us know there’s an issue. We will work with you to diagnose the problems you have, and if we’re unable to offer a solution, we will refund the purchase. After a refund, you may no longer use the fonts.
How do I upgrade, change, or cancel my license?
To upgrade, purchase the license you need from the font’s page. We can’t edit existing orders, but within 30 days of your purchase we can issue a refund so you can place a corrected order. Please contact us if you need assistance.
Web and app licenses renew automatically using your original payment method. You’ll receive email reminders 30, 14, and 7 days before renewal. You can update your payment method or cancel anytime before renewal through the link provided on your original email receipt or in the email notifications leading up to renewal.
How do I download a receipt for a past subscription charge?
As of November 2026, Typographer is free for all individual subscribers. If you had a paid subscription in the past, you can see your billing history from your account settings. Click “Your payment history” to open the Stripe portal, where you can find a list of any past subscription charges and download receipts for them.
What happened to the student plan?
