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.

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.

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.

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.

About the family

Hello, and welcome to the REN FONT foundry! REN FONT has steadily built its reputation by repeatedly earning accolades in the Typeface category of the “Yearbook,” an exhibition organized by the Japan Typography Association (NPO). Founded in 2001 with the aim of bringing a fresh breeze to the font industry, REN FONT continues to create distinctive typefaces that stand out. The hand-drawn-style fonts crafted by REN FONT’s type designer, Kazuo Kanai, have received high praise from professional designers and typographers for their exceptional quality. A Message from Kazuo Kanai With the exception of our comprehensive typeface Waon, our company has been particularly dedicated to producing kana fonts in the traditional Mincho and Gothic styles. Most of these fonts have been developed as multi-weight families — and there’s a good reason for that. In Japanese text, kana characters account for roughly 70% of the total. Even so, kana fonts have little significance on their own; it is only when combined with kanji that they take on “meaning” and come to life. Most vendors offer font weights in seven to nine variations, from “Light” to “Ultra,” but there are no universal standards for these weight categories — each vendor defines them differently. As a result, a “Light” weight from one vendor may differ subtly in thickness from another. For kana fonts to pair harmoniously with such variations and truly come alive, a finer gradation of weights is essential. This is why our kana fonts feature such detailed weight variations. Simply changing the kana can greatly enrich the expression of a typeface. We hope you will make the most of our kana fonts, blending them freely with other typefaces to create combinations that perfectly suit your taste. A typeface that combines softness with sharp precision Kaku Seimei Kana 10-weight font family A typeface that combines softness with sharp precision This typeface was developed as a Gothic (sans-serif) version of the highly acclaimed “Seimei Kana.” The name “Seimei” refers to the fifth of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms, a seasonal marker in the traditional calendar. It signifies a time when spring is in full bloom and “all things are pure and vibrant with life.” True to its name, this typeface possesses a unique quality—blending graceful sharpness with a sense of gentleness and elegance. Based on the everyday handwriting of our type designer, Kazuo Kanai, this font carries complex form influences from Mincho, Gyosho, and Kaisho styles. The family consists of a total of 10 weights, ranging from UL (Ultra Light) to U (Ultra). While retaining a classical nuance, it is not bound by traditional conventions. Designed with larger kana forms, it also supports modern typesetting, giving it a versatile and contemporary character. Expressing dynamism and visual impact Each style in the Kaku Seimei Kana family was developed to help bring “dynamism and visual impact” to creative work. Japanese fonts often lose their sense of openness when confined within a square framework. This typeface breaks away from that constraint, embracing a freer design approach. Although its strong character makes it less suitable for long passages, it works well for short texts, letters, and brief headings. It will bring energy and visual appeal to the page. Both vertical and horizontal compositions support proportional spacing, and pair kerning has also been applied.
