Font licensing depends on what you're trying to do.
A desktop licence rarely covers web, app, software or enterprise use, and the same rights can be interpreted differently across foundry EULAs, enterprise agreements and custom licences. The right approach depends on who you are and what the work involves.

The expertise behind Font License.
Font License is independent - it doesn't sell fonts and isn't tied to a particular foundry or distributor. I'm Scott Briggs, founder of Font License and a commercial and operations specialist.
My experience spans client relationships, licensing, commercial operations, sales and the practical realities of managing font rights between type businesses and their customers.
