Regardng the font Ar Christy, which many of us have on our computers as an Adobe font, does anyone know about the commercial use? I haven't been able to find specific license info on it for some reason.

Thank you!

Hi Leslie

Is it an Adobe font? I see no reference to it on the Adobe sites although plenty of references and links to it on non-Adobe sites. A search of Adobe fonts does not show it.

I've tagged @jane-e as she is our "font" of all knowledge

Hi Leslie and Dave,

I did a little bit of searching and the first link I found was this one from March:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/archristy/td-p/10966677?page=1

Leslie's link there goes to:

https://www.fontzone.net/font-details/ar-christy

The comments tab has lots of folks asking about licensing information with zero answers from FontZone. I could find nothing on the licensing either.

It does not show in Adobe Fonts, which are included in our Creative Cloud subscriptions, but cannot be packaged and we lose them when we stop subscribing.

Adobe also sells typefaces that we can own. It's not in that list either. I agree with Dave that it does not appear to be an Adobe typeface.

Leslie, what icon do you see next to "AR Christy" when you drop down the list of typefaces?

And where did you get it from originally?

Here's what may possibly have happened:

Adobe Fonts (formerly TypeKit) offers typefaces from other foundries. In March, one foundry opted out, and in June, two more left. If you originally got it from Adobe Fonts, it may have been in a foundry that has exited. See this article from InDesign Secrets for details:

And here is the Help page from Adobe:

You migh also ask in the Type and Typograpy forum:
