Understanding what the license does and doesn’t permit can mean poring over a license thick with legalese. Type licensing is hard - really hard! Every seller that offers type has their own license agreement, which may or may not cover commercial use, use on the web, production of physical goods, etc. We’ve added more than 1,200 new fonts to the library so far this year (all of them for web and sync) and we plan to keep adding more in the coming months and years. Just to be clear: The Typekit library isn’t going anywhere, and all the (thousands!) of fonts there are still included with paid Creative Cloud subscriptions - one of the best investments you can make as a designer. And we’re thrilled to broaden our view today with Typekit Marketplace, which brings even more of the world’s most prestigious and well-known type foundries under a single umbrella. We’ve always been proud of the foundry partners in our subscription library - not one of them ended up in there by accident.

But professional designers primarily depend on the quality and consistency that comes from professionally-produced photos and type to use in their work. It’s not impossible to do great design with free fonts, nor is it impossible to do great work with free stock photography.
In his excellent article on Dear Design Student, our own Tim Brown frames type as the investment it truly is, describing how skimping on type can end up being even more expensive. Type is a tool, and a very important one, that enables designers to do their best work. Once purchased, fonts from Typekit Marketplace are added to your personal library on Typekit, and can be used in all the same places - whether that’s on a website or synced to your applications through Creative Cloud. Each is available for purchase at an additional one-time cost, set by the foundry, through an easy and intuitive interface that we’ve taken enormous pains to get right. Typekit Marketplace augments the existing selection of premium fonts in the Typekit Library with thousands more, from over 20 foundry partners. In doing this, our goal is to eliminate much of the inconvenience and uncertainty designers face in finding and buying type. Building on the work we did with our recent redesign, we’re launching Typekit Marketplace in an environment that we carefully planned to meet the needs of customers and type foundry partners alike. This is the biggest expansion we’ve ever made to our service, and we’re excited to take this step. After months of hard work and collaboration with some of the type industry’s leading foundries, today we’re proud to launch Typekit Marketplace - thousands of fonts completely new to our catalog, and a new way to find and buy type.
