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.

Chesham Sans Desktop EULA

Company Desktop

Choose a Company Desktop license when fonts need to live where your team actually works: on employee workstations, inside design tools, office apps, brand workflows, and day to day creative workflows. Built for collaborative teams, busier workflows, and brands that need their type to move confidently across the company.

This license allows your employees to create, edit, view, print, and distribute materials, provided the font software itself is not embedded in those assets. It is a good fit for in-house brand projects, presentations, packaging layouts, static graphics, marketing materials, and other company-created assets.

Company Desktop also supports practical document collaboration. Licensed users may create and share non-commercial, non-editable PDFs with embedded fonts. The Company Desktop license is also tiered based on company size, enabling your employees to use fonts collaboratively and in internal DAMs. Commercial eBooks, eMagazines, or other paid electronic documents require a separate Commercial Electronic Document license.

This license is based on your number of employees. You are required to purchase a license tier sufficient to cover your entire organization size and those users must be your employees. You cannot exchange users within the licensing period (non-concurrent).

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.

Chesham Sans 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.

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.

Chesham Sans Digital Ad/Email 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

Chesham Sans is a contemporary sans serif typeface designed for clarity, versatility and longevity. Balancing generous proportions with a restrained rhythm, it is suited to editorial design, branding, digital interfaces, packaging, signage and everyday typography.

Rather than relying on fashionable details or overt personality, Chesham Sans focuses on consistency and refinement. Carefully considered spacing, subtle optical adjustments and balanced proportions create a calm, dependable texture across every weight, allowing the family to move naturally from immersive reading to confident display settings.

The family includes seven weights with matching italics, providing a flexible typographic system for a wide range of applications. Extensive Latin language support, comprehensive OpenType features and carefully engineered production make Chesham Sans a reliable choice for professional designers working across both print and screen.

Developed in the Chiltern Hills of England, Chesham Sans reflects a measured approach to contemporary type design, favouring clarity, rhythm and durability over decoration. Designed to work quietly rather than demand attention, it is intended to become a dependable part of a designer's everyday toolkit.
