Adobe Fonts & Licensing Clarification

Question

Hi everyone, I'm new here, and trying to understand everything correctly. I just wanted to ask in terms of ONLY using the Adobe fonts library to create logos, infographics, posters, images etc (only using font within image - not creating websites or anything like that), am I right in understanding there is no limitations for this? So I can use absolutely any font within the Adobe Fonts library as I please in this capacity. I read a page called 'Restricted Fonts' with a short list of fonts but as I understand this just means you may only use the fonts listed within Adobe programmes, so not Microsoft Word for example. Thank you in advance for any help.

Thanks

Victoria

Please go to https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/user-guide.html/fonts/using/font-licensing.ug.html for this information and you will find the full sets of terms and conditions associated with use of fonts within the Adobe Fonts service.

For the purposes you brought up, there are no restrictions. And once you have created any of those graphic objects, you don't need to have the fonts activated. You may also sell, give, whatever those graphic objects to anyone regardless of whether they have any Adobe software licenses!

In terms of restricted fonts I assume you are referring to the web page https://www.adobe.com/products/type/font-licensing/restricted-fonts.html. This page has absolutely nothing to do with fonts licensed via the Adobe Fonts service, but rather, fonts that are internal to various Adobe applications. Many of those fonts are also available as part of the Adobe Fonts service and can be used by activating those fonts via the service. There is no restriction whatsoever on use of fonts from the Adobe Fonts service with non-Adobe applications!

Thank you so much, Dov. You've made everything clear and easy to understand - and I have peace of mind moving forward. I learnt this week there can be limitations with some fonts with 'web use', but I don't use them in this way anyway, so just a wanted to be 100% sure I could use them in the way I will be in the future, having full choice of the fonts. That's great to know.

Yes I was referring to that page. So to confirm, once the fonts listed on that page, for example Myriad Pro and Minion, are activated through Adobe Fonts I can use them elsewhere? To be honest I usually just use the fonts that come with Microsoft when using Word etc, but it's good to know anyway.

Thanks again for your informative reply. I appreciate it.
