High-quality, high-performing fonts
Our customers trust our fonts. They know they’ll work, are safe, and are easy to use. Gone are the risks of using free fonts that come with kerning issues and a narrow range of weights.
Search & discoverability functions
We make it easy for customers to browse the library and find fonts, including yours. Our sophisticated discovery tools such as our AI-tags, advanced filters, and WhatTheFont font finder reveal the best options to a customer, instantly.
Boundless opportunities for inspiration
We love interacting with the design community and opening up discussion about the type world. Our Creative Characters podcast, Type Trends report, and Brand Talks are some of the ways we do just that.
A creative playground
Monotype Fonts fosters creative flow and interaction with your fonts. We let customers see what your fonts are capable of with no limits on experimenting or prototyping. That way they can fall in love with your fonts and decide to license them.
We’re in this together
We care for our customers, and we strive to keep them happy by providing comprehensive support. From our Help Center to one-on-one assistance from type experts, customers never have to go at it alone.
We live and breathe typography
Monotype is a diverse team with a fiery passion for fonts. Whether we’re creating a typeface from scratch or engineering a new feature for Monotype Fonts, we’re dedicated to the typeface community and growing the industry.
Our royalty model puts you first.
Foundries greatly contribute to the overall customer experience of Monotype Fonts. That’s why we not only compensate foundries for the fonts customers select for their designs, but also the fonts they use during the discovery process.
Royalties are calculated based on the foundry’s percentage of:
- All syncs in Monotype Fonts
- All production fonts in Monotype Fonts
- All e-commerce revenue

Will you modify my fonts?
You give us the right to modify your fonts according to our modifications policy — we need this for simple things like automatic generation of web fonts on our sites, and occasional modifications for customers. We follow a comprehensive modification policy, and we work directly with foundries when these situations arise. As always, you own any fonts that are modified.
What if our business undergoes changes?
If your business is changing materially, let us know at least 90 days in advance. This includes if you intend to offer your fonts via subscription, or if you intend to sell your foundry.
Where will my fonts be sold?
Being in the program means that if you’re working with us, customers can find all of your fonts in our channels. Your fonts are released to Monotype Font and MyFonts.com, and they’re eligible for any other avenues for sales at Monotype.
We believe in getting your fonts the attention they deserve.
Because we know just how much it takes to make a typeface.
