By purchasing, downloading, installing, or using the Digital Font, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms of this End User License Agreement (EULA). If you do not accept these terms, do not purchase, access, download, install, or use the Digital Font.
2. Copyright & Intellectual Property
Our font software is owned by LB Type, a division of Laura Bennett Design, and is protected by United States copyright law and international treaties. The intellectual property rights to the design contained in the font software, including but not limited to the typeface design, code, and all accompanying documentation, are exclusively owned by LB Type.
When you purchase a font license, you acquire a non-exclusive, non-refundable license which grants you certain rights to use the font software as specified in this agreement. This is not an agreement for the sale of the font software, its design, or any portion thereof. Except for your right to use the font software granted by this license, all other rights are owned and retained by LB Type.
Under no circumstances may you convert, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the original font software. You may not manipulate the font in any way that would reveal its structure, organization, or code, nor may you open the original font software in an editing software for this purpose.
You may not use the original font software to create derivative or modified products or designs, including creating characters for alphabets and languages not covered by the typeface or designing a custom version of the typeface. Even if converted to outlines with the help of an editing or design software, you may not modify the design of the characters contained in the font software.
In the event that permission is given to you for a modification or custom version of the typeface, any and all modifications and additions shall become and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of LB Type. You are also prohibited from promoting violence or discrimination (of any kind) through the use of the fonts, creating derivative works based on the fonts, placing the fonts on public servers, and/or adding the fonts to public repositories.
3. License Types & Usage
3.1 DESKTOP LICENSE
The Desktop License is determined solely by the total number of employees within the Licensee’s organization or client’s organization, including full-time, part-time, and contract employees. LB Type offers five standard license tiers based on organization size: Small (1-5 employees), Medium (6-25 employees), Large (26-50 employees), Extra Large (51-100 employees), and Enterprise (101-250 employees). Organizations with over 250 employees must contact LB Type directly for a custom enterprise quote.
A Desktop License grants the Licensee perpetual rights to install and use the Digital Font on computers within their licensed organization. This license permits the creation of static images for both personal and commercial use and is applicable for print and digital design projects. The Desktop License explicitly does not allow embedding or distribution of the Font Software outside the licensed organization.
3.2 WEB LICENSE
Web Licenses enable the embedding of fonts on websites through a tiered structure based on monthly page views. The tiers are structured as follows: Tier 1 supports up to 10,000 monthly page views, Tier 2 covers 10,001 to 50,000 views, Tier 3 extends to 50,001 to 250,000 views, and Tier 4 accommodates 250,001 to 1,000,000 views. Custom solutions are available for sites exceeding these thresholds.
All Web Licenses are restricted to specified domains and must utilize the provided web font files. Direct distribution of font files is strictly prohibited, and the license requires implementation of appropriate technical measures to prevent unauthorized access or downloading of the font files.
3.3 APP LICENSE
The App License permits font embedding in mobile and desktop applications across iOS, Android, and Windows platforms. Licensees may choose from several duration options: 1-Year License, 3-Year License, 5-Year License, or Perpetual License. This license specifically restricts font extraction and direct distribution, ensuring the integrity of the font software within the application environment.
3.4 CUSTOM LICENSING
Certain uses of LB Type fonts require custom licensing arrangements. This includes publication usage, logo and branding applications, broadcasting and media implementations, social media campaigns, digital advertising, and enterprise deployments for organizations exceeding 250 employees. Any usage scenarios not explicitly covered by our Desktop, Web, or App licenses also require custom licensing. Please contact LB Type at info@lbtype.com for a tailored quote that meets your specific needs.
4. Restrictions & Usage Guidelines
4.1 GENERAL USAGE RESTRICTIONS
The Digital Font must not be installed or used on any server that can be accessed via the Internet or other external network systems without appropriate licensing and security measures in place. When sharing documents with third parties, all content must be either vectorized or embedded inside an image format (PNG, JPG, TIFF) or within a secured PDF format. Any installation of the Digital Font on servers must ensure that remote users cannot access or download the font files directly.
4.2 TECHNICAL AND MODIFICATIONS RESTRICTIONS
The Licensee is expressly prohibited from modifying, altering, adapting, translating, reverse engineering, decompiling, or disassembling the Digital Font in any way. The creation of derivative works based on the Typeface is not permitted, nor is the sub-licensing, selling, leasing, or distribution of the Digital Font to any third party. The font software must not be embedded in any manner that would allow extraction or unauthorized use by others.
4.3 CONTENT RESTRICTIONS
The use of the Typeface for illegal, discriminatory, or offensive content is strictly prohibited. Usage in political or religious contexts requires explicit written permission from LB Type. We reserve the right to revoke licenses if the Digital Font is used in ways that could harm LB Type’s reputation or brand value.
- Modify, alter, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Digital Font
- Create derivative works based on the Typeface
- Sub-license, sell, lease, or distribute the Digital Font
- Embed fonts in a manner that allows extraction or unauthorized use

5. Embedding & Distribution
5.1 Embedding is permitted only in read-only formats that prevent font extraction.
5.2 Documents sent to third parties must have text converted to outlines or embedded in secure formats (PDF, image).
6. Multiple User Scenarios
6.1 DESIGNERS AND AGENCIES
Design professionals and agencies working with clients must ensure appropriate licensing for all font usage. When purchasing on behalf of clients, the agency must establish the client as the license owner, as they will be the end user of the font software. Agencies are required to transfer ownership of the font license to their clients and remove all copies from their systems once the project is completed. The pricing charged to clients for font licenses must align with LB Type’s published rates, and clients must accept this EULA before any font installation or use begins. It’s important to note that temporary employees and contractors are not covered under an agency’s existing license.
6.2 ENTERPRISE AND MULTI-LOCATION USAGE
Organizations operating across multiple locations or with complex deployment needs require specific enterprise licensing arrangements. These licenses are customized based on the total employee count and specific usage requirements of the organization. Enterprise clients should contact LB Type directly to discuss their needs and obtain appropriate licensing terms.
6.3 CLIENT LICENSE TRANSFER PROCESS
The transfer of font licenses to clients must be handled with careful attention to proper procedures. The client, as the ultimate end user, must be established as the license owner from the outset. Agencies facilitating these transfers must ensure their clients formally accept this EULA before receiving any font files. Upon completing the transfer process, agencies are required to thoroughly remove all copies of the font software from their systems, including any backup copies or cached files.
7. License Maintenance & Updates
Licensees are responsible for maintaining accurate licensing status and must notify LB Type of any changes in their organization’s employee count that might affect their license tier. We require annual verification of license compliance to ensure proper usage of our font software. LB Type reserves the right to perform periodic checks using publicly available information to verify compliance. When an organization’s size increases beyond their current license tier, an upgrade to the appropriate tier is required to maintain license validity.
8. Credits & Attribution
