Folktails Desktop EULA

Company Desktop

Company Desktop may be a good fit when employees across your company need to use the same font for brand projects, presentations, packaging layouts or marketing materials. With Company Desktop, employees may create, collaborate, and share font-embedded documents internally, plus you can share non-commercial, non-editable PDFs and static graphics externally (just like with individual Desktop). It is an annual license on MyFonts, with a tier based on your total number of employees, even if only a few use the font today. The first tier covers organizations with up to 50 employees.

Employees can install the font on their workstations to create, edit, view, print and share materials. The font can also be installed on a qualifying internal server accessible only by your employees.

The license allows non-commercial, non-editable PDFs with embedded fonts, and editable non-commercial electronic documents with embedded fonts when shared only with employees. Distributing an electronic document as a commercial product with the font embedded, such as an eBook, requires a separate Commercial Electronic Document license.

MyFonts offers Company Desktop for organizations with up to 250 employees. If you have 251 or more employees, or need non-employees to use or access the font software, get in touch with Monotype Sales.

Folktails Company 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.

Folktails 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.

Folktails App 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.

Folktails 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

Folktails is a distinctive flare serif typeface inspired by the nostalgic charm of vintage Vietnamese books and folk tales. The family finds its roots in a lost, unknown typeface widely used in Vietnamese printing during the early 1900s. By modernizing these historical letterforms, Folktails brings a classic yet fantasy-filled feeling, capturing a unique Vietnamese editorial spirit that is both mysterious and inviting.

Characterized by fine, sharp serifs and tight tracking, the typeface stands out with its playful, "tail-like" terminals, most noticeable in the characters 'a', 'f', and 's'. It also borrows a subtle touch of Art Nouveau elegance in the middle bars of 'E' and 'F', giving the letters a more organic and flexible structure. These intricate details fully reveal their visual impact at large sizes, making Folktails ideal for headlines and display layouts that need a touch of mystique.

The name is a playful pun that merges the wonder of Folktales with the physical look of its signature tails. Designed for versatile use, Folktails offers 14 distinct styles ranging from Thin to Bold, alongside true Italics slanted at a precise 10° angle. All styles are unified into a single variable font file with two axes (Weight and Italic), allowing users to adjust the font smoothly while maintaining a perfectly balanced look.
