How do I give someone access to a Typekit font

I wanted to hand some work to one of my freelancers but he's not a CC member, so he can't access one of the fonts we're using in this project.

Is there a way I can share a font with him without having to buy it?

The font family is Museo Slab. I have access to it myself using my CC subscription & typekit, but this doesn't give me a local copy of the font on my machine.

I would be grateful if someone could shed some light on this – I am aware that licensing may be the issue here. Am I able to give me designer access to my CC subscription maybe, and if so what implications might this have?

Thanks.

Hello SiWinter,

Thanks for your interest in Typekit! The Typekit Services Agreement does not permit Typekit desktop fonts to be transferred to another user or computer that isn’t already licensed for that font. Your colleague will need to have their own license for the font, either through Creative Cloud or as a traditional desktop license.

You can read more on sharing & packaging fonts here:

http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/1166052

Namely: "Most existing font license agreements – including the standard EULA for the Adobe Type Library and Font Folio – do not cover sending font files to third parties, unless that third party has their own license to the same font. Similarly, the Typekit terms of service do not allow copying or moving the files that have been synced to your desktop computer."

I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions. Best,

-- liz
