Does Adobe buy fonts from designers? How do I sell a font that I created publicly?

Community Beginner ,

It's weird, I have been Googling this for hours and can't see where Adobe accepts font submissions or find out where the best place is to other than Creative Market. Would really love to submit to Adobe if possible..

Anyone know?

I don't imagine there is a full time team waiting for submissions. More likely it goes to a department who might consider them at wide intervals. Maybe even a year.  I suspect the system is likely to really expected to deal with established foundries. In any case, even if Adobe accept the fonts you will want an outlet to sell perpetual licenses (because many Adobe Fonts customers "graduate" to full licenses for particular situations). So sort that out first. Your selling record may well be relevant. Look at the big font shops (being sure to distringuish font resellers from font foundries).

Repeating my reply: "even if Adobe accept the fonts you will want an outlet to sell perpetual licenses (because many Adobe Fonts customers "graduate" to full licenses for particular situations). So sort that out first. Your selling record may well be relevant [to Adobe's decisions]. Look at the big font shops (being sure to distringuish font resellers from font foundries)."

all you have to do to license your fonts is simply write up your own license terms.  youre selling the license...the font itself doesnt need to be licensed...the customer does.  copywriting the name of the font is a different story.
