Does buying a font give full commercial rights, and will I still be able to use it if I cancel my Adobe CC/Photoshop subscription?

I'm thinking of buying a font that I found initially on typekit.  Will buying that font allow me to use that font for commercial work, and will I have access to it if I ever cancel my Adobe subscription?

Thanks.

    Hello,

    If you purchase a font license outside of Typekit, that license dictates how you are allowed to use the font software. Adobe’s standard font EULA allows commercial use, but another font vendor’s license might not.

    > will I have access to it if I ever cancel my Adobe subscription?

    The perpetual font license purchase is unrelated to your Creative Cloud subscription status. You will be able to use the purchased font(s) for as long as the license allows, whether or not you continue to subscribe to Creative Cloud.

    I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions here or at support@typekit.com!

    Best,
