Hey!
I currently work on a game and found a really good Font. However, I don´t know if I can use it or not. I want to use the fonts for the UI. They should only appear as buttons (I would use them as Vectorgraphics made in Illustrator) .

I already read the FAQ, but I didnt quite understand how those rules are with desktop games

It mainly depends on the font license. Some fonts are free for personal use but require a commercial license if you want to use them in games or apps. Since you’re planning to use the font for UI buttons and convert it into vector graphics, it’s important to check the license terms carefully. Many designers also explore different font aesthetic styles for UI design to make the interface look more creative and visually appealing.

When choosing fonts for commercial use in games, it’s important to check the license carefully to avoid copyright issues and ensure you’re allowed to use them in paid projects. Picking the right typography can really enhance your game’s branding and UI experience.

For stylish text inspiration, you can also explore letras aesthetic   instagram to create eye-catching names or promotional posts.

Adobe Fonts can be used for commercial projects, including games, as long as the fonts are used according to Adobe’s license terms. You’re allowed to use them in published games and other commercial media, but you generally can’t redistribute the font files themselves or allow end users to extract them. As always, it’s best to review the specific font’s licensing details in Adobe Fonts to ensure compliance.

"You can use the font in your game for UI buttons as graphics if the license allows commercial use. Check the license, convert text to vector graphics or images, and then use them in your game."

Fonts can only be used in commercial games if their license allows it. Even if you convert text to vectors, the license still applies. Check the font’s license or use safe options like Google Fonts or Adobe Fonts.

Hi

Thanks for reaching out! Yes, if you use the font to create static vector graphics (like button labels converted in Illustrator), that usage is covered under the standard desktop license. No special license is required in this case.

For more details, you can refer to the FAQ linked above, which outlines what's included in the standard licensing terms. Let us know if you have any other questions!
