Video Game License

About the license

The Video Game License permits you to securely embed our typography into a game engine for use in a single, specific game title. This covers all in-game text, heads-up displays (HUD), and user interfaces across consoles, PC, and mobile gaming platforms. Distribution is scaled based on the total number of copies sold or monthly active users. If you want to use our fonts in a commercial project, you must buy the rights to do so by paying a license fee that varies according to usage and number of users.
