While sometimes the terms are interchangeable, it is important to differentiate between those two when it comes to legal documents. A typeface is a design set of characters, including letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols, that share a cohesive style — It’s what you see as the design. The term “font” refers to the digital file (.ttf/.otf/.woff/.woff2) that allows you to install, access, and output the design of a typeface.

A font license is a binding agreement that allows the buyer to use the font in a specified manner. Each type of license has terms and conditions that dictate how the font can be used, such as to create printed materials, digital formats, or be embedded in software and web pages.

The type of license you need depends on how you intend to use our fonts. We offer various licenses for our premium fonts, such as Desktop, Web, App, and more. Marsnev’s fonts distributed via Dafont may fall under ‘Donationware License’ You can refer to our Licensing Guide for detailed information.

Please pay attention to the keyword ‘fonts’, not ‘typefaces’. For example, when you purchase a Desktop license, you are allowed to install the fonts into your computer. Once you generate a static image (.jpg, .png, etc), it may contain our typefaces, but not the fonts, thus you are free to upload it to the internet, share it, or sell it. However, let’s say you create the graphic on Adobe Illustrator, and your client asks you for the original file and the fonts so they can edit it themself, you cannot do it, as Dekstop license does not grant you to redistribute the fonts.

Most of Marsnev’s fonts available on Dafont are licensed as ‘Donationware.’ This means that after making a donation, you aregranted a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, and non-transferable license to install and use the fonts for commercial purposes, including logo design, print materials, and web projects. For detailed information, please refer to our licensing guide.

Note: Lemon Milk™ and Lemon Milk Pro™ have different licensing terms. While Lemon Milk is offered as ‘Donationware,’ Lemon Milk Pro — the premium version of the typeface family — is distributed as a standard retail font under a separate licensing agreement.

Yes, obtaining a Desktop License/Donationware License allows you to use our fonts in static graphics and logotypes. However, please note that you cannot claim the trademark of a logo using our typefaces unless with further value addition. For example, you cannot claim exclusive rights if your logo only consists of the plain unedited letter B from one of our typefaces.

No. We cannot permit you to modify the fonts. To make it clear, Font Software means the actual font files with either OTF, TTF, WOFF, WOFF2, or any other font format such as UFO. You are allowed to alter the letterforms, such as to make a logo, whenever they are no longer a font format, by converting them to outlines in design applications, for example.
