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:
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:
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.
If the font only appears in a static logo image on the website, Desktop is enough.
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.
Then restart your design apps so they can refresh their font list.
You need software that supports OpenType features:
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:
This forces your system to rebuild its font list.
Yes, but you need the correct license:
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.
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:
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.
