License terms unclear

[Mark359681435rtq]

The license information for all fonts is "The full Adobe Fonts library is cleared for both personal and commercial use.".

I don't quite understand how it can be that all fonts are free to use, although on the founders website some of these fonts are subject to license terms and may not be used for commercial purposes. For example the font: Sinete from NDISCOVER. On founders website it says it can't be use for commercial purpose and a apropriate licencese should be purchased before.

Thank you in advance for your answers!

Using the typeface via Adobe Fonts gives you legal coverage for commercial and personal use. If there are web sites offering free for personal use downloads (some font stores allow this in some cases) then that's where the legal verbiage would apply.

Does that mean I can use all fonts as long as I am an Adobe member? What if I make a T-Shirt design with a font, put it out for sale and then cancel my Adobe subscription? Do I then also have to remove the T-Shirt from sale, because I'm not allowed to use this font for commercial purpose anymore?

If the fonts in the t-shirt artwork are still live, editable text objects they would be lost if you cancelled your Creative Cloud membership. The fonts would stop working. If you convert the text objects to outlines then it wouldn't matter. The raw letter shapes would be retained and you could still use those graphics for commercial purposes. I often convert live font objects to outlines as part of the process of putting final edits into a graphics design. But I'm doing sign industry related work. Something like a publication containing passages of body copy would need the live fonts in the design left intact.
