SignPainter HouseScript No Longer Available?

I have been working on a project that I heavily use "Sing Painter HouseScript" as headers, and I go to open the project today, and it is no where to be found on typekit. 

 

Are there fonts that are disappearing on typekit? If so, this is super frustrating as I have been an advocate for typekit amongst my peers, and I will no longer be able to use typekit as a trustworthy resource if one day my fonts are no longer available... 

 

Just a little feedback and an explanation would be great. Thanks!

As of March 5, House Industries typefaces have been retired from Adobe Fonts (also see their FAQ):

You can also buy the font from their website directly:

BTW, what was Typekit is now Adobe Fonts.

 

In terms of the why of fonts disappearing, simply stated, if a font foundry decides to no longer license a font to Adobe for use in Adobe Fonts, there is nothing that Adobe can do about that.

Hi @mratchik

Could you please provide us with a few additional details? From whom did you purchase the font? Fonts included as part of an Adobe subscription can change over time due to the licensing changes with the foundries that Adobe licenses them through.  


Please let us know, thanks,
Dave

To be more legally precise, you can buy a license for the font from House Industries' website. You cannot buy the font itself, only a license to use it.
