Two separate things on one page: the terms for using Fontane.Studio itself, and the licence that travels with a font file. Every font exported from here carries a link to this page inside it.
You own what you draw. Fontane.Studio claims no rights over your lettering, your project files, or any font you make with it — including commercial use, and including selling the fonts you make. If you choose to publish a font to the Marketplace, you are giving it away to everyone, and that is not reversible.
Fontane.Studio is a free drawing and font-building tool that runs in your browser. It is in beta: it can change or break, features can disappear, and it is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind. Your work lives in your own browser's local storage, so clearing site data, an unexpected browser update, or a full disk can lose it — export a .fff project file if it matters to you. We can't recover work we never had a copy of.
Don't use the service to break the law, and don't upload lettering you have no right to publish — including someone else's typeface traced or converted into strokes. Don't attack the service or try to work around the limits that keep it running. There are no accounts, so there is nothing to ban; what we can do is take down a published font, and we will if it infringes someone's rights or is illegal.
Publishing is public and permanent by design: anyone can download the font, and there is no account system to edit, rename or withdraw it through the app. Write to us (see the imprint) and we can take a font down, but copies already downloaded stay downloaded — that is what publishing means. Check what you are publishing before you publish it.
The service is free and provided as-is; to the extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost work, lost profits, or damage arising from using it. Nothing here limits liability for intent or gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, or under mandatory law.
A font file leaving Fontane.Studio carries one of two licences in its name table, depending on how it left. Both are reproduced here in full, and both are the exact text written into the file.
This font is the work of its author, who holds all rights to it. Drawn with Fontane.Studio, which claims no rights over fonts made with it.
In plain terms: it is your font. Use it, sell it, license it on your own terms, install it anywhere, embed it in anything. You do not owe us attribution, a fee, or a mention. We keep no copy — the file was built in your browser and never touched our servers.
Free to use by anyone, for any purpose, including commercially, without restriction and without attribution.
When you publish, you confirm the font is yours to give and you release it on those terms. Anyone downloading it may use it for anything, commercially included, without asking and without crediting anyone. Neither we nor you can withdraw that permission from copies already out there.
One font on the Marketplace predates the app writing any of this into the file it exports: Fontanello-Testo, published 18 July 2026, carries an empty licence field, no copyright line and no designer name in its own metadata. Open it in a font manager and it will tell you nothing about its terms.
It is under the Marketplace licence above, in full, exactly as if the words were inside it. Every font published here is — the page is the record, and the file repeating it is a convenience for whoever finds it on a hard drive years from now, not the thing that makes it true. Fonts published since carry the text themselves; that one cannot be corrected without republishing it, and republishing would change nothing about what anyone is allowed to do.
The licence above is the whole deal — nothing further is required of you. Crediting the author is a kindness, not an obligation, and the author's name is inside the file if you want to.
Both licences below are blank specimens — they describe the rule, not a particular font. For the version that names your font and you, matching what that file's own metadata says, use File › Export Licence in the editor after filling in File › Font Info.
This describes the terms as they actually stand today, in plain language rather than legalese, and is kept in sync as the service changes — it is not a substitute for formal legal advice. If you need certified terms for your own use case, have them reviewed by a lawyer.
