OEM / Hardware License
About the license
The OEM / Hardware License allows you to securely embed our typography into the firmware, operating systems, or functional interfaces of physical hardware products and consumer electronics. Whether it’s a vehicle dashboard, a medical device, a household appliance, or an industrial control panel, this license ensures high-performance, legible rendering on physical screens. This license is scaled based on the total number of physical units manufactured and distributed.
