Hi

I have 2 questions:

1. If I buy Myriad Pro font from this page: Adobe - Fonts : Myriad Pro, can I use it internally in my company and also in print ads, banners... which you can refer to as commercial use?

2. Can I also use it as web font for my company website? What are the differences between purchasing license via that page and subscription model in Typekit?

Thanks

Regards,

Hi Nghia,

This is Ben from Typekit. I can answer these questions for you.

> 1. If I buy Myriad Pro font from this page: Adobe - Fonts : Myriad Pro, can I use it internally in my company and also in print ads, banners... which you can refer to as commercial use?

Yes, this license allows for this. You can install the font on up to 5 computers. Details for this license are here: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/type/pdfs/eulas/eula-5seat-us-english-07.11.11.pdf

> 2. Can I also use it as web font for my company website? What are the differences between purchasing license via that page and subscription model in Typekit?

No. This perpetual license only covers using the font on your computers. You would need Typekit in order to license this font for your company website. If you need the font for your website, you should get a Portfolio Plan on Typekit: https://typekit.com/plans/‌ which also comes with a desktop license for: Regular, Italic, Semibold, Semibold Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic. When using Typekit, you sync the fonts via the Creative Cloud app and on Typekit.com.

I hope this clears things up. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Cheers,

Benjamin
