FAQs

Just me, Alen. I design the fonts, build the website, answer emails, test every file, and pack everything into this little corner of the internet myself. If you reach out, you are talking directly to the person who drew the letters.

Yes. All paid licenses allow commercial use. That includes branding, packaging, posters, social media graphics, YouTube thumbnails, editorial layouts, and pretty much any static design work. If you are not sure, tell me what you are working on and I’ll guide you to the right license.

Here is the simplest breakdown:

  • Desktop License
    For logos, branding, print, social media graphics, packaging, and any static image.
  • Webfont License
    For embedding the font into a website through CSS so text displays live.
  • App or E-Pub License
    For embedding the font inside an app, game, or digital book.
  • Template or Server License
    For editable templates on Canva, Templett, Corjl, or any system where the end user edits text.

If your project mixes several use cases, you might need more than one license. Ask me if you are unsure.

Absolutely. Logo design is fully covered by the Desktop license. You can trademark the logo design you create with my font. You just can’t trademark the entire typeface itself. Convert your final logo to outlines before sending it to your client.

The person or company installing and using the fonts needs the license. If you install the fonts to create work for your client, you need the license. If the client also installs the fonts internally, they need their own license too.

Yes, but with rules:

  • For designing static graphics (Instagram posts, posters, thumbnails): Desktop License is enough. Upload the font to your Canva Brand Kit and export images.
  • For selling editable templates where the buyer changes the text: You need the Template or Server License. This protects the actual font files and keeps everything legal.

If your customer edits text, you need the Template or Server License. One license covers one template product. Never include or redistribute the font files.

Usually yes.

  • You need the Desktop License to design the branding, layouts, and mockups.
  • Your client needs the Webfont License to host the font on their website.

If the font only appears in a static logo image on the website, Desktop is enough.

  • Desktop License: OTF (recommended) and sometimes TTF
  • Webfont License: WOFF and WOFF2

OTF is always the best choice for desktop work and gives you all the OpenType features.

Install OTF. It is the modern format that supports ligatures, alternates, swashes, and smoother curves. Use TTF only if an older machine or tool specifically requires it.

  • Mac: Double click the OTF file and hit Install
  • Windows: Right click and choose Install or Install for All Users


Then restart your design apps so they can refresh their font list.

You need software that supports OpenType features:

  • Illustrator and InDesign: Use the Glyphs panel
  • Photoshop: Window → Glyphs
  • Canva: Copy and paste PUA encoded characters
  • Figma: Basic alternates work, but not full glyph access (yet)

If you want, send me a screenshot and I’ll point you to the right panel.

This is usually a cached font list issue. Try this:

  1. Close your design software completely
  2. Reopen it
  3. If that doesn’t work, restart your computer

This forces your system to rebuild its font list.

Yes, but you need the correct license:

  • App License for embedding inside an iOS or Android app.
  • E-Pub License for embedding inside an EPUB, Kindle file, or interactive PDF.

If you are only designing the book cover as an image, Desktop is enough.

You can modify the vector shapes after converting to outlines in Illustrator. You cannot open, rename, reverse engineer, or change the actual font software files. The font file is protected software.

No. Sharing the actual font files outside your licensed team is not allowed.

  • Printers: You can send them PDFs with fonts embedded or text converted to outlines, but not the font files.
  • Clients: If they want to install the fonts on their own devices, they need their own license.
  • Collaborators: Any external designer using the font on their own machine needs their own license too.

You can share final artwork. You cannot share the raw font software.

Yes. If your project involves TV, streaming, a very large number of users, or a software platform where many end users interact with the fonts, I can prepare a custom license.

Tell me:

  • What the project is
  • Where the fonts will appear
  • Rough audience size or user count

I will review it and send you a tailored offer so everything is covered properly.

Fonts are digital files and cannot be returned once downloaded, so all sales are generally final. But I’m human. If you bought the same font twice or you find a genuine technical issue, email me. I want you to be happy with your purchase.

If you created an account at checkout, log in and re download your fonts anytime. If not, send me your order details and I will email you fresh links.

Just use the contact form on my website or email me directly at info@silverstagtype.com I reply personally. I’m one person, not a support team, so please give me a little bit of time. But I always get back to you.
