Licensing Options

You can use this font in any of the following places. Read the full EULA text for details about each license. If you have a usage in mind that's not covered by these licenses, contact us and we'll see what we can do.

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.

Centaur Now App 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.

Centaur Now WebFont EULA

Digital Ad/Email: for use in HTML5 ads

You can use this type of license to embed fonts into digital ads, such as ads built using HTML5.

We'll supply a kit containing webfonts that can be used within digital ads, such as banner ads. This kit may be shared with third parties who are working on your behalf to produce the ad creatives, however you are wholly responsible for it.

HTML5 ads use webfonts, so why purchase a Digital Ads license rather than a Webfont license?

There are a few reasons, such as the Digital Ads EULA having terms that enable usage in digital ads and on advertising networks.

Digital advertisements also have different usage patterns compared to websites. Most websites generally have consistent pageviews month-to-month whereas advertising impressions can vary wildly month-to-month. Prices reflect this, making it much less expensive to use a Digital Ad license.

If you know the number of impressions the campaign requires, that amount can be ordered before the campaign begins. For campaigns where number impressions is unknown until the end of the campaign, you can true up at the end of each calendar month.

Centaur Now Digital Ad/Email EULA

Desktop: for use on a computer/workstation

Entry-level license geared towards traditional graphic designer work. Licensed user(s) may install the font on their computer and use the font within applications to, e.g., create designs. Personal and professional use is permitted; however, most distribution and commercial use of designs and materials created through use of the font is not allowed. Static graphics (i.e., “flat” images that do not contain embedded fonts) may be distributed, but in most cases you may not distribute raw font files or files containing embedded fonts.

For example, this license allows the licensed user(s) to:

Install the font on your Mac OS X or Windows system
Use the font within desktop applications such as Microsoft Word, Mac Pages, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, etc.
Create and print documents, as well as static images (.jpeg, .tiff, .png)

Desktop licenses are offered on a per user basis. You can change the number of users by clicking the quantity dropdown option on Buying Choices or Cart pages.

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.

Centaur Now Desktop 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, eNewspaper, or interactive PDF.

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

Centaur Now is a new digital revival of Centaur which is renowned for its elegant character in book typography. The original Monotype Centaur was designed by American book designer Bruce Rogers based on the typeface by Nicholas Jenson from the 1470. The italic was done by Frederic Warde, an American typography researcher, inspired by the italic works of Ludovico degli Arrighi.

Centaur Now captures the elegance of the original. Its delicate character is most prevalent in the display version, and more toned down in text and caption versions in favour of robustness and legibility.
