FontPass for Business & Enterprise

FontPass is a font licensing subscription service that is ideal for organizations with diverse, evolving, or ad-hoc requirements for typefaces and fonts. There’s no need to scour font catalogues, research licences, or negotiate pricing – you’re already licensed to use the entirety of the current Dalton Maag font library, a constantly growing trove of over 1,400 fonts across more than 60 families, expertly designed with extensive writing system and language support.

FontPass also gives you access within your online portal to new library fonts as they are released during the term of your subscription, all at no additional cost. You’ll be the first to get access to new fonts the moment they are added to our library, ahead of their general retail launch, helping you stay ahead of the curve.

1. Paid monthly, quarterly, or annually in advance, at your choice. Subscription price is fixed for the duration of your agreement
2. Each optional extra licence type in FontPass Flex is priced at an additional $6,000 per month.
3. Your named contacts will have direct access to Dalton Maag’s technical support Team.
4. Your named contacts will have direct access to a named Dalton Maag Account Manager.
5. Your named contacts will have direct access to a named Dalton Maag Creative Director.
6. On-demand modifications of fonts from our font library can be requested at any time, at a price from our published tariff, available only to FontPass Flex and FontPass All-Access subscribers. You’re licensed to use the modified fonts for as long as you subscribe, and have the option of purchasing a discounted licence if you do not renew your subscription and wish to continue using them.

The Dalton Maag Font Library

Our font library features over 1,400 fonts across more than 60 families. It has been built through strategic commissioning and careful curation to intentionally represent the best of the best for every design archetype – and to feature a few surprises too. From the multi-lingual efficiency and clarity of Aktiv Grotesk to the wild features of Jazzier, every level of expressiveness and tone-of-voice are represented.

While all of the font families in our library support the Latin writing system, twelve families also support the Greek and Cyrillic writing systems, and six families support the Arabic writing system, but the international star of our library is Aktiv Grotesk which supports over 130 languages using nine writing systems across all 54 of its fonts.

Personal Service

We ask FontPass subscribers to nominate up to four named contacts within their organization who will be the people that we work with directly. This avoids duplication of communication and allows us to provide technical support in a way which doesn’t contradict the policies and processes of your own IT team. Technical support and administrative support are included at no extra cost with all FontPass subscriptions.

Fonts, not Apps and Audits

FontPass is direct access for your named contacts to all 1,400+ fonts, in all appropriate file formats, to distribute as your organization requires; you’re in complete control of which fonts are deployed where. There’s no desktop audit suite, no counting pageviews, and no spyware, just the font files that you need.

Use, Don’t Prototype

You’re licensed to use everything in the library from day one. There’s no rotating roster of active fonts, no distinction between prototyping and commercial use, just fonts licensed to you for you to use as you need.

Consistent Terms

All fonts licensed through a FontPass subscription have exactly the same licence terms; there are no per-family restrictions and no special reporting requirements.

Fixed Price

Your monthly subscription price is fixed for the duration of your subscription – up to five years, chosen by you when you subscribe.

FontPass Essentials subscribers can increase their number of users at any time during their subscription term for the same per-user price. FontPass Flex and FontPass All-Access subscriptions have no user limit.

Sneak Previews

New library fonts are added to FontPass as soon as they are completed rather than waiting for retail launch, giving all FontPass subscribers early access to new releases.

No Tie-In

FontPass does not contractually restrict you to use only Dalton Maag fonts.

At the end of your FontPass subscription term you can:

• renew your FontPass subscription with a renewal price guarantee: your renewal price will be the published price for new subscribers at the time, or your previous price plus 15%, whichever is lower.
• end your FontPass subscription and buy only the licences that you need. FontPass Flex and FontPass All-Access subscribers with a minimum term of 12 months or more are eligible for a discount on prevailing licence prices, starting at 10% at the end of a 1-year subscription, rising to a maximum of 50% at the end of a 5-year subscription.
• end your FontPass subscription, stop using the fonts, and delete all copies of the files.

Extra Features for Enterprise

FontPass Flex and FontPass All-Access subscribers also have access to:

• creative support from one of our Creative Directors. Whether you need advice on font selection, or want to explore the options for a modification of an existing typeface, your named contacts have direct access to a named Creative Director.
• on-demand modifications of fonts from our font library at a price from our published tariff. You’re licensed to use the modified fonts for as long as you subscribe, and have the option of purchasing a discounted licence if you choose to not renew your subscription and wish to continue using them.
