Font license for Bodoni 72 Smallcaps Book

Hi,

I am a new designer and want to use the font Bodoni 72 smallcaps book for my products. I would like

to know if I need to purchase a separate license for this font.

 

I have checked Adobe Fonts and found that they are clear for both personal and commercial use. However, I couldn't find Bodoni 72 Smallcaps in this list (https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/using/fonts-included-with-creative-suite.html), although it is a built-in font when I installed illustrator. 

 

I also found that bodoni 72 is an open source font (https://indestructibletype.com/Bodoni.html, please correct me if I am wrong!), but I was wondering if the Smallcaps feature of the font requires a separate license.

 

Thank you very much!

Hello @Xinyuan38338910ii3z,

Thanks for reaching out. The font mentioned is covered under the SIL Open Font License (https://adobe.ly/3WWB14x), and you can buy the font from here: (https://adobe.ly/3WELZdg).

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need assistance. We'd be happy to help.

 

Thanks,

Hi Anubhav,

 

Thank you so much for the reply!!

 

I am curious if Bodoni 72 Smallcaps, which is available in illustrator, is also clear for commercial use, like the Bodoni 72. It seems that I couldn't find the licensing information for the smallcaps feature of this font in adobe. Does that mean the samllcaps feature do not require a separate license? Is there any way to check the licensing information of adobe built-in fonts? I found this website (https://helpx.adobe.com/sg/fonts/using/font-licensing.html) but it doesn't say which fonts are covered. 

 

Thanks again for your help!

Looks like a font from MacOS
