Please be sure to review the listing foundry's Desktop license agreement as some restrictions may apply—such as use in logos/trademarks, geographic restrictions (number of locations), and products that will be sold.

Desktop licenses are cumulative. If you require a Desktop license that covers additional users, simply place a new order for the same Desktop package, for the number of additional users.

Archive Desktop EULA

Webfonts: for your website

Webfonts allow you to embed the font into a webpage using the @font-face rule, so paragraphs and headings of text can be styled as the webfont. You will be serving the webfont kit for your own site and linking it in the CSS.

Webfonts can be used on a single domain. Agencies responsible for multiple websites, for example web design agencies or hosting providers, may not share a single webfont license across multiple websites.

If the font file itself won't be embedded in the website (for example, when the font is used in a static graphic image such as a logo) you should purchase a Desktop license instead.

Most foundries on MyFonts offer their webfonts with the Annual license model. Click here to Learn more.

Archive WebFont EULA

App: for embedding in mobile applications

Select this license type when you are developing an app for iOS, Android, or Windows Phone, and you will be embedding the font file in your mobile application's code.

Archive App EULA

Electronic Doc: for embedding in e-text products

You can use an Electronic Doc license to embed the font in an electronic publication such as an eBook, eMagazine, or eNewspaper.

An Electronic Doc license is based on the number of publications in which the font is used. Each issue counts as a separate publication. Regional or format variations don't count as separate publications.

Updated versions of publications that are free to previous customers do not need a new license; otherwise, each new version that is released counts as a separate publication.

For font usage in graphic images shown as the ePub cover, consider a Desktop license instead as most allow for it.

About the family

Archive is a geometric, monospaced typeface that reflects the experimental spirit of early digital typography. Originally designed in the early 2000s, it is built on a precise, grid-driven structure where each character occupies a consistent width, creating a steady, mechanical rhythm across lines of text. Its forms are clean and reductive, favoring clarity and construction over ornament, with a logic that feels both systematic and forward-looking. This disciplined framework gives Archive a distinctly technological tone—calm, controlled, and quietly futuristic. At the same time, its simplicity allows subtle details in proportion and spacing to emerge, adding texture within its rigid system. As the foundation for later developments like Archive Matrix, Archive stands as a foundational exploration of digital-era typography, bridging early computational aesthetics with contemporary design sensibilities.
