Understanding the Extended Commercial Font License for Your Creative Projects
If your project is growing, your license should grow too. This Extended Commercial License is perfect for brands producing larger-scale work, using the font as part of their logo/trademark, or releasing a higher volume of printed or digital end products.
This license is designed for one brand and offers more flexibility while still respecting the work that goes into crafting a font.
What Is the Extended Commercial License?
An Extended Commercial License grants you the right to install and use a Yenty Jap font on one (1) computer for one (1) brand (legal entity), just like the standard Desktop License—but with greater output limits and logo usage included.
It is a non-exclusive, non-transferable license for brands that need extra room to grow.
Permitted Uses (Up to 50000 End Products + Logo Rights, One Brand)
By purchasing this Extended Commercial License, you may:
1) Install on One (1) Computer
- Use the font on a single workstation or device controlled by the licensee.
- This license applies to one brand or legal entity.
2) Create Up to 50000 Total End Products
- This includes both physical and digital products for sale or distribution.
- Examples of end products:
- Printed Items: Posters, flyers, product packaging, apparel, signage, merchandise.
- Digital Assets: E-books, digital PDFs, templates, social media posts, ads, and downloadable products.
3) Use the Font in a Logo or Trademark
- You may convert the font into a logo or use it as part of a logo or wordmark for the licensed brand.
- This includes registration and trademarking of the design, as long as the font is not redistributed.
4) Unlimited Use for Marketing and Social Media Collateral
- You can use the font across all of your brand’s marketing efforts:
- Social media graphics
- Digital ads
- Website visuals (as images)
- Print advertising
Restrictions to Keep in Mind
Even with expanded permissions, there are still important limits:
1) No Embedding (Web, App, Server)
- No Website Embedding: You cannot use @font-face to serve the font on a live website. This requires a separate Webfont License.
- No App/Game Embedding: Embedding the font in an app or software requires an App License.
- No Server-Side Rendering (SaaS): Dynamic generation of PDFs, images, or designs on behalf of users requires a Server License.
- No Video/TV/Broadcast/Streaming: If you want to use the font in motion graphics, shows, or video productions, you’ll need a Broadcast License.
2) No Editable File Templates for Sale
- You may not include the font in editable templates (e.g., Canva, Corjl, InDesign, Figma files) meant for resale—even if the files are flattened or embedded.
3) No Font Modifications
- You may not modify the font files, rename it, reverse engineer, or create derivative fonts.
4) Single Brand Use Only
- This license is valid for one (1) brand. If you operate multiple businesses, each brand needs its own license.
Ideal For:
- Designers or studios working on behalf of one brand with a larger reach
- Brands planning to use the font in logos, trademarks, and visual identity
- Businesses expecting to print or distribute up to 50000 total end products
- Growing e-commerce shops, boutique product lines, or established content creators
Need More Than 50000 End Products or Want to Embed the Font?
If you're planning to do any of the following:
- Embed the font in an app, game, or software
- Use the font on a website as a webfont
- Generate designs dynamically via SaaS platforms
- Use the font in a film, TV show, video content, or YouTube series
- You’ll need to purchase a separate license type (App, Webfont, Server, or Broadcast).
