MCKL License Overview

We know font licensing can be confusing, and we’re here to help. Here are the basic things to keep in mind with a MCKL font license:

  1. When you license fonts from our website, you choose from three kinds of use: Desktop, Webfont and App.
  2. For desktop licenses, we count the number of users. Each user may install the fonts on more than one computer.
  3. For webfont licenses, we count the number of unique monthly visitors to a website. We do not count page views or any other metric.
  4. For app licenses, we count the number of unique monthly users of the app.
  5. Licenses are perpetual. You pay once for the size you need, and you can upgrade if you outgrow it.
  6. For anything not listed here, such as games, live broadcast graphics, servers or very large audiences, email us and we will write a license that fits.

Variable fonts are available for select families, and checkout states when they are included. If you have questions, visit our FAQ or email info@mckltype.com.

General Terms

Effective as of October 12, 2026

These General Terms and Conditions (“General Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (the “Licensee”) and MCKL, Inc. (together with its successors and assigns, “Licensor”), and are incorporated into and form part of each End User License Agreement for each of the following Font Software license offerings: Desktop, Webfont, App and Trial (each, a “License Agreement”). These General Terms, together with the terms and conditions of the applicable License Agreement (together, this “Agreement”), govern the license and use of the typeface font computer software program(s), together with any related documentation, updates, and permitted copies thereof, selected by Licensee and specified therein (the “Font Software”).

LICENSEE’S ACCEPTANCE AND USE OF THE FONT SOFTWARE CONSTITUTES ITS AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THE GENERAL TERMS AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE APPLICABLE LICENSE AGREEMENT. IF THE INDIVIDUAL ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT DOES SO ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER ORGANIZATION, THAT INDIVIDUAL REPRESENTS THAT HE OR SHE HAS AUTHORITY TO BIND THAT ORGANIZATION, WHICH WILL THEN BE THE LICENSEE.

The scope of each license, and the uses permitted thereunder, shall be as set forth in the applicable License Agreement.

1. License Restrictions. In addition to other prohibited uses described in this Agreement, and except as the applicable License Agreement expressly permits, Licensee shall NOT be permitted to do any of the following:

  1. Copying. Copy the Font Software;
  2. Modifying or Creating Derivative Works. Modify, translate, adapt, or otherwise create derivative works or improvements, whether or not patentable or copyrightable, of the Font Software, including, without limitation, by (i) converting the Font Software into another font format; (ii) creating additional characters, accents, symbols, or typeface styles or weights from the Font Software or any portion of it; (iii) altering the style linking or naming of the Font Software to create an altered family; (iv) extending the language coverage of the Font Software; or (v) changing the name of the Font Software;
  3. Reverse Engineering. Reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, decode, or otherwise attempt to derive or gain access to the source code of the Font Software or any part thereof;
  4. Removing Proprietary Rights Notices. Remove, delete, alter, or obscure any trademarks or any copyright, trademark, patent, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights notices from the Font Software, including any copy thereof;
  5. Transferring or Sublicensing. Rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer, or otherwise make available the Font Software, or any features or functionality of the Font Software, to any third party, including, without limitation, any advertising agency, client, printer, or parent, subsidiary, or affiliated company of Licensee, or store the Font Software anywhere it can be accessed by anyone who is not a licensed user;
  6. Disabling Security Features. Remove, disable, circumvent, or otherwise create or implement any workaround to any copy protection, rights management, or security features in or protecting the Font Software;
  7. Machine Learning. Use the Font Software, or images of its glyphs, to train, fine-tune, test, prompt, or otherwise develop or improve any machine learning or artificial intelligence model, system, or dataset, or permit any third party to do so.

Licensor reserves the right, upon reasonable notice, and no more than once in any twelve (12) month period, to audit Licensee’s compliance with the permissions and restrictions set forth in the applicable License Agreement, including, without limitation, the number of users, websites, unique visitors, unique users, and Applications using the Font Software, together with reasonable supporting evidence therefor. If any verification shows usage beyond the applicable License, Licensee shall promptly purchase a license of the appropriate size at Licensor’s then-current fees.

2. Variable Font Files: Variable font files are available for select typefaces. Where a variable font file is included with a License, that is stated at checkout. A variable font file delivered with a License is Font Software and is subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3. Term and Termination. The License begins when Licensee pays the applicable fee and continues in perpetuity unless terminated under this Section. Licensor may terminate the License upon written notice if Licensee materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure the breach within thirty (30) days after notice from Licensor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the License terminates immediately upon notice, without any cure period, if Licensee breaches Section 1 of these General Terms or otherwise copies, distributes, or makes the Font Software available beyond the scope of the License, as such breaches are not capable of cure. On termination, Licensee must immediately stop using the Font Software and delete or destroy all copies in its possession or control and, upon Licensor’s request, certify such deletion in writing. Termination does not entitle Licensee to any refund. Sections 1 and 5 through 14 of these General Terms, and any accrued payment obligations, survive termination.

4. Fees. The License is granted in exchange for the one-time fee stated on Licensee’s receipt, for the usage size stated there. Fees are exclusive of any applicable sales, use, value-added, or similar taxes, which are Licensee’s responsibility. Except as required by applicable law, all sales are final and, because the Font Software is delivered digitally, Licensor does not offer returns, exchanges, or refunds. Licensee may upgrade to a larger usage size at any time by paying the difference between the fee paid and the then-current fee for the larger size.

5. Updates. Licensor may from time to time in its sole discretion develop and provide updates to the Font Software, which may include bug fixes, corrections, and new features (collectively, “Updates”). Licensor has no obligation to provide any Updates. All Updates will be deemed part of the Font Software and be subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties. THE FONT SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED TO LICENSEE “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS AND DEFECTS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, LICENSOR EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO THE FONT SOFTWARE, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE. WITHOUT LIMITATION TO THE FOREGOING, LICENSOR PROVIDES NO WARRANTY OR UNDERTAKING, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND THAT THE FONT SOFTWARE WILL MEET LICENSEE’S REQUIREMENTS, ACHIEVE ANY INTENDED RESULTS, BE COMPATIBLE, OR WORK WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE, SYSTEMS, OR SERVICES, OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, MEET ANY PERFORMANCE OR RELIABILITY STANDARDS, OR BE ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY ERRORS OR DEFECTS CAN OR WILL BE CORRECTED.

TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, LICENSEE HEREBY WAIVES THE PROTECTIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE § 1542 (AND ANY ANALOGOUS LAW IN ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION) WHICH SAYS: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

7. Limitation of Liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR HAVE ANY LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR LICENSEE’S USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE FONT SOFTWARE FOR (I) PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOST PROFITS, COST OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR (II) DIRECT DAMAGES IN AMOUNTS THAT IN THE AGGREGATE EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100.00). THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARISE OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE OR LICENSOR WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO LICENSEE.

8. Indemnification. Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Licensor and its parent, subsidiary, and affiliate companies and licensors and each of their respective officers, directors, members, managers, employees, contractors, licensors, agents, successors, and assigns from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, settlements, costs, penalties, or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or in connection with any claim brought by a third party to the extent based on (i) Licensee’s breach, or allegation, which if true, would constitute a breach, by Licensee of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations hereunder; (ii) Licensee’s violation of applicable local, state, federal, or international law or regulation; or (iii) any content, design, logo, product, or other material created, published, or distributed by or for Licensee using the Font Software, including any claim that such material infringes or misappropriates any third party’s intellectual property or other rights (other than a claim that the Font Software itself, as delivered by Licensor and used in accordance with this Agreement, infringes such rights). The indemnified parties shall promptly notify Licensee in writing of any such indemnified claim (provided, however, any delay in such notice shall not relieve Licensee of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such delay prejudices the defense of such claim) and give Licensee the opportunity to defend or settle such claim at Licensee’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, Licensee shall not settle any such claim without the applicable indemnified parties’ prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned; provided, further, the indemnified parties reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any such claim. In all cases, the indemnified parties will cooperate with Licensee, at Licensee’s sole cost and expense, in defending or settling such claim.

9. Export Regulation. The Font Software may be subject to United States export control laws, including the Export Control Reform Act and its associated regulations. Licensee shall not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, or release the Font Software to, or make the Font Software accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export, or release is prohibited by law, rule, or regulation. Licensee shall comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing, or otherwise making the Font Software available outside the United States.

10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction; Disputes. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the internal law of the State of California without reference to its principles of conflicts of laws and any dispute or legal claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Licensee’s use of the Font Software shall be adjudicated exclusively in either the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and Licensee hereby irrevocably waives all jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections to such courts. Licensee agrees that, regardless of any applicable law to the contrary, any legal claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Licensee’s use of the Font Software must be filed with a court of competent jurisdiction within one (1) year after such legal claim or cause of action arose or else will be forever barred.

11. Remedies. In the event of a breach by Licensee of the terms of the License, including, without limitation, the restrictions under the License, Licensor will suffer irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy, and, as such, if Licensee breaches or threatens to breach any of the obligations set forth therein, Licensor will have the right, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief or specific performance or both, from a court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to all other remedies available to Licensor at law, in equity, or pursuant to this Agreement. All remedies, whether at law, in equity, or pursuant to this Agreement, will be cumulative.

12. Assignments. Licensor may assign or otherwise transfer any or all of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any party. Licensee may not assign or transfer Licensee’s rights or obligations under this Agreement to any party without the prior written consent of Licensor, which may be exercised in Licensor’s sole and absolute discretion. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation hereof shall be null and void and constitute a material breach hereof.

13. Entire Agreement. These General Terms, together with the terms and conditions of the applicable License Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between Licensor and Licensee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous oral or written discussions, documents, agreements, and prior course of dealing between the parties with respect to such subject matter.

14. Severability. If any term, provision, or condition, or any part thereof, of this Agreement shall for any reason be found or held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remainder of such term, provision or condition nor any other term, provision or condition, and this Agreement shall survive and be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable term, provision or condition had not been contained therein.

15. Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended only with the written consent of the parties and the observance of any provision of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in any particular instance, retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the waiving party. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.

Desktop License Overview

The Desktop License is for installing the fonts on desktop and laptop computers. We license by the number of people in your organization who use the fonts, not the number of computers.

With a desktop license you can use the fonts within your organization to make printed matter, presentations, images, videos, social media posts, film and broadcast work, and similar output. You can make a logo. You can also use the fonts in Canva, Figma and similar online design tools, as long as everyone with access to them there is counted in your license size.

You cannot modify the font software or make derivative versions of it. If you need a webfont, app, server or other kind of license, or want to install the fonts in a live broadcast graphics system, please contact us. If you are a design firm, you can use the trial fonts to pitch to a client, but commercial use needs a license, which you can buy on your client’s behalf.

If you need more users, contact us and we will upgrade your license. The Font Software is provided “as is”, but if you run into any problems, let us know and we will help you out.

Desktop EULA

Effective as of October 12, 2026

This End User License Agreement (this “Agreement”) constitutes a legally binding agreement between you (the “Licensee”) and MCKL, Inc. (together with its successors and assigns, “Licensor”).

This Agreement, together with the General Terms and Conditions, governs the license and use of the typeface font computer software program(s), together with any related documentation, updates, and permitted copies thereof, selected by Licensee and specified therein (the “Font Software”).

LICENSEE’S ACCEPTANCE AND USE OF THE FONT SOFTWARE CONSTITUTES ITS AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

1. License. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-sublicensable right and license to install and use the Font Software, solely by the number of users stated on Licensee’s receipt, in connection with Licensee’s own business or personal purposes and in no event for distribution or resale of the Font Software (the “License”). For the avoidance of doubt, a person uses the Font Software when they give commands, whether by keyboard or otherwise, through any application that contains a font menu (for example Microsoft Office or Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop). Licensee may not use the Font Software in any manner other than as expressly set forth herein. Licensee does not acquire any ownership interest in or to the Font Software. Licensor reserves and shall retain its entire right, title, and interest in and to the Font Software, including all copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights therein or relating thereto. All rights not expressly granted are expressly retained by Licensor.

2. Users and Installation. The License is sized by the number of users. A user is any individual who has the Font Software installed or available to them. Each user may install the Font Software on more than one computer, provided only that user uses it. An individual Licensee is the sole authorized user. An organization must hold a License for the total number of its employees and contractors who have access to the Font Software. Contractors and freelancers working for Licensee count as users, may use the Font Software only for Licensee’s work, and must delete it when that work ends. The Font Software may be stored on a network or shared drive only where access is limited to licensed users, and may not be stored or used in any manner that makes it accessible to the public or to non-licensed third parties.

3. Online Design Platforms. An “Online Design Platform” is a hosted design application, such as Canva or Figma, that lets an account holder upload fonts for use only by a closed group of users whom the account holder controls. Licensee may upload the Font Software to Licensee’s own account or team on an Online Design Platform for use by Licensee’s users. Every person who can use the Font Software on the platform counts as a user and must be included in the number of users stated on Licensee’s receipt, together with Licensee’s other desktop users. Licensee may not share the Font Software in a public team, publish it for use by people outside Licensee’s organization, or use it in templates offered to third parties for editing. Licensee may not grant the operator of an Online Design Platform any rights in the Font Software other than the limited right to host it for Licensee’s permitted use, and Licensee is responsible for ensuring that any terms of service it accepts on the platform are consistent with this Agreement.

4. Work for Clients. A design firm, advertising agency, or freelancer (each, an “Agent”) may purchase a License on behalf of its end client (a “Client”). The Client is the Licensee and should be named as the licensee at checkout, and the Agent hereby accepts the License’s permissions and restrictions for and on behalf of the Client and hereby represents to Licensor that it is authorized to do so. Everyone who uses the Font Software under that License, at the Client and at the Agency working for it, counts as a user and must be included in the number of users stated on the receipt. The Agency may use the Font Software under that License for that Client’s work only and must delete its copies when that work ends. Licensee is responsible for the firm’s compliance with this Agreement.

5. Permitted Output. Licensee may use the Font Software to create printed matter, static images, presentations, and video, including advertising, social media, film, and broadcast, where the type is rendered into the finished work and the Font Software itself is not embedded or distributed. Rasterized images showing the Font Software are permitted provided they do not reproduce all or substantially all of its characters.

6. Logos. Licensee may convert the Font Software to outlines and modify those outlines to create a logo, wordmark, or lettering, and may use and register such logo, wordmark, or lettering as a trademark. Any such registration covers only the logo, wordmark, or lettering as a whole and does not grant Licensee any right in the Font Software or in the design of its letterforms generally, all of which are solely and exclusively retained by Licensor. Licensee may not turn modified outlines back into an installable font.

7. Embedding in Documents. Licensee may embed the Font Software into static documents such as PDFs so long as (i) the Font Software is subset, (ii) the document can be viewed and printed but not edited, and (iii) reasonable measures are taken so that recipients cannot extract or use the embedded Font Software.

8. Service Bureau and Printer Use. To reproduce a particular document, Licensee may provide a copy of the Font Software to a commercial printer or service bureau, provided that the printer or service bureau uses it solely to output that document and is bound to these restrictions. Afterwards, the printer or service bureau must destroy its copies. Licensee is solely responsible for any use of the Font Software by such printer or service bureau.

9. Back-up Copies. Licensee may make a reasonable number of copies of the Font Software for back-up purposes only. Copies must contain the same documentation, copyright, trademark, and other proprietary notices that appear on, in or with the Font Software.

10. Modifications. Apart from outlines made under Section 6, Licensee may not use any font creation or font editing program, or otherwise attempt to modify the Font Software, to create a usable, derivative or substitute version of it, and may not commission or authorize any third party to do so without prior written consent from Licensor.

11. Uses That Need a Separate License. In addition to the restrictions in Section 1 of the General Terms, the License does not permit Licensee to:

  1. Webfonts. Use the Font Software as a webfont, convert it into webfont formats (for example WOFF or WOFF2), or link it to web pages through the CSS @font-face rule or any other form of font linking;
  2. Apps and software. Embed the Font Software in any application, game, or other software;
  3. Live broadcast graphics. Install the Font Software in a broadcast graphics system, character generator, or other system that renders text live or automatically, such as on-air chyrons, tickers, and score graphics;
  4. Hardware and displays. Install the Font Software in hardware or devices, including printers, kiosks, consoles, set-top boxes, and electronic display or signage systems;
  5. Servers. Install the Font Software on a server to generate documents or images automatically or at the request of third parties;
  6. Alphabet products. Use the Font Software to make products whose value is the letterforms themselves, such as house numbers, stamp sets, rub-on or adhesive letters, and alphabet punch and die sets.

Licenses for these uses are available by contacting info@mckltype.com.

Webfont License Overview

The Webfont License is for styling text on your website through the CSS @font-face rule. We license by the number of unique monthly visitors to the website.

With a webfont license you can use the fonts on the website named on your receipt, including its subdomains and other top-level domains, as long as the visitors to all of them are counted together. You can use the fonts on a development or staging site that is not open to the public.

You cannot modify the font software or make derivative versions of it. If you need a desktop, app, server or other kind of license, please contact us. If you are a design firm, you can use the trial fonts to pitch to a client, but commercial use needs a license, which you can buy on your client’s behalf.

If your traffic outgrows your license, contact us and we will upgrade it. The Font Software is provided “as is”, but if you run into any problems, let us know and we will help you out.

Webfont EULA

Effective as of October 12, 2026

This End User License Agreement (this “Agreement”) constitutes a legally binding agreement between you (the “Licensee”) and MCKL, Inc. (together with its successors and assigns, “Licensor”).

This Agreement, together with the General Terms and Conditions, governs the license and use of the typeface font computer software program(s), together with any related documentation, updates, and permitted copies thereof, selected by Licensee and specified therein (the “Font Software”).

LICENSEE’S ACCEPTANCE AND USE OF THE FONT SOFTWARE CONSTITUTES ITS AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

1. Definitions. The following terms have the meaning specified below and throughout this Agreement:

  1. A “webfont” is font software prepared for use on the Internet for styling text on a website.
  2. A “website” is a collection of related web pages under one second-level domain name owned and controlled by Licensee (as in “example” of www.example.com). It includes that name’s subdomains (such as shop.example.com) and the same name under other top-level domains (such as example.co.uk), provided the visitors to all of them are counted together.
  3. A “unique visitor” is a distinct computer or mobile device connecting to the website in a calendar month.

2. License. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-sublicensable right and license to use the Font Software to style text on the website stated on Licensee’s receipt, for up to the number of unique monthly visitors stated there, and in no event for distribution or resale of the Font Software (the “License”). Licensee may not use the Font Software in any manner other than as expressly set forth herein. Licensee does not acquire any ownership interest in or to the Font Software. Licensor reserves and shall retain its entire right, title, and interest in and to the Font Software, including all copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights therein or relating thereto. All rights not expressly granted are expressly retained by Licensor.

3. Permitted Use. The webfonts may be used to style text on the website through the CSS @font-face rule. Only the webfont files provided by Licensor (WOFF2 and WOFF) may be used; converting other formats such as OTF or TTF into webfonts is prohibited. The webfonts may be used on a development or staging version of the website that is not open to the public. The webfonts may be used in web forms. Any other editable use, such as templates or tools that let visitors create customized designs or products, requires a separate license. The webfonts may not be installed on a computer for desktop use or embedded in an app or any other medium.

4. Unique Visitors. The website’s unique monthly visitors must not exceed the number stated on Licensee’s receipt. If that number is exceeded for three (3) consecutive months, Licensee must upgrade to the appropriate size. Licensor may ask Licensee for reasonable evidence of its traffic. Licensee is not entitled to a refund or other adjustment if its traffic or number of domains falls.

5. Hosting and Protection. Licensee must host the webfonts itself, or with a hosting or content delivery provider acting solely on Licensee’s behalf. Third-party font hosting or font delivery services are prohibited. The webfonts may not be served to websites that are not licensed, even if they are hosted on a licensed one. Licensee agrees to use reasonable measures to ensure the webfonts are available only for styling text on its website, including preventing hotlinking and directory listing.

6. Back-up Copies. Licensee may make a reasonable number of copies of the webfonts for back-up purposes only. Copies must contain the same documentation, copyright, trademark, and other proprietary notices that appear on, in or with the webfonts.

App License Overview

The App License is for embedding the fonts in an application that you distribute. We license by the number of unique monthly users of the app.

You cannot modify the font software or make derivative versions of it. If you need a desktop, webfont, game, server or other kind of license, please contact us. If you are a design firm, you can use the trial fonts to pitch to a client, but commercial use needs a license, which you can buy on your client’s behalf.

If your app outgrows your license, contact us and we will upgrade it. The Font Software is provided “as is”, but if you run into any problems, let us know and we will help you out.

App EULA

Effective as of October 12, 2026

This End User License Agreement (this “Agreement”) constitutes a legally binding agreement between you (the “Licensee”) and MCKL, Inc. (together with its successors and assigns, “Licensor”).

This Agreement, together with the General Terms and Conditions, governs the license and use of the typeface font computer software program(s), together with any related documentation, updates, and permitted copies thereof, selected by Licensee and specified therein (the “Font Software”).

LICENSEE’S ACCEPTANCE AND USE OF THE FONT SOFTWARE CONSTITUTES ITS AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

1. Definitions. An “Application” is a software application for mobile, tablet, or desktop operating systems that Licensee publishes under its own name. A “unique user” is a distinct device running the Application in a calendar month.

2. License. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-sublicensable right and license to embed the Font Software in the Application or Applications named on Licensee’s receipt, for up to the number of unique monthly users stated there, and to distribute those Applications with the Font Software embedded (the “License”). The Font Software may be used only within the Application and must be embedded so that it cannot readily be extracted. Licensee may not use the Font Software in any manner other than as expressly set forth herein. Licensee does not acquire any ownership interest in or to the Font Software. Licensor reserves and shall retain its entire right, title, and interest in and to the Font Software, including all copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights therein or relating thereto. All rights not expressly granted are expressly retained by Licensor.

3. Applications Covered. The list of Applications may be changed only with Licensor’s written permission. Versions of the same Application for different operating systems count as one Application, and their users are counted together.

4. Permitted Use. The Font Software may be used for static, dynamic, or editable text in the Application. Any use that lets end users create their own designs with the Font Software, such as templates, adding text to photographs, or making products, requires a separate license. Games, OEM, and hardware uses require a separate license.

5. Unique Users. The Application’s unique monthly users must not exceed the number stated on Licensee’s receipt. If that number is exceeded for three (3) consecutive months, Licensee must upgrade to the appropriate size. Licensor may ask Licensee for reasonable evidence of its usage. Licensee is not entitled to a refund or other adjustment if its usage or number of Applications falls.

6. Back-up Copies. Licensee may make backup copies of the Font Software for archival purposes only, provided that Licensee retains exclusive custody and control over such copies.

Trial Fonts Overview

MCKL offers a free license to install and try our trial fonts. Trial fonts have a limited character set and no special features.

With this license you can use the trial fonts for testing and for non-commercial work: comps, mock-ups, internal presentations, client pitches and school projects. You cannot use them in anything published or sold, distribute them, or make a logo with them. Those uses require a full license, which you can buy at any time at mckltype.com. If you need a kind of license that is not listed, please get in touch.

We accept no liability for any use under the trial license. By downloading and installing the trial fonts, you accept the terms below.

Please enjoy them, and respect that fonts are intellectual property that takes a long time to make.
