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.

Desktop: for use on a desktop workstation

For the most common uses, both personal and professional, for use in desktop applications with a font menu.

For example:

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 based on the number of users of the fonts. 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.

Adding users later:

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.

GHS Desktop EULA

Webfont: for your website

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.

Every time the webpage using the webfont kit is loaded (i.e, the webfont kit CSS which holds the @font-face rule is called) the counting system counts a single pageview for each webfont within the webfont kit.

For usage in graphic images shown on the website, consider a Desktop license instead as most allow for it.

MyFonts offers three types of webfont licenses: Annual, Pay Once, and Pay As You Go. Only one of these three would be available for a given webfont. Click here to Learn more.

About GHS Font Family

GHS is an original font from HouseOfBurvo, designed and made by Matthew Burvill. GHS stands for Geometric Hairline Serif, it is a serif typeface that is geometric in structure, it has strong vertical stress and its stroke is hairline thin. This gives it a fashionable, stylish appearance for headlines and display. The font has been designed to work primarily as any other font, but it also has special features that can add an extra dimension to your design. This feature is Layering. When using GHS you set your type with the "Key" font, and then when you're happy with your layout, you can change the font to a layer containing only the Hairlines, and then copy and paste your text on top and change this second layer to a font containing only the Stress parts. You can then exercise more control over the appearance of your text than with any other typeface of its kind; for instance, you can offset your layers for varying degrees of distress, or use separate colors for each layer. You could treat one layer with a spot varnish so the text only becomes legible when reflecting light, or foil block the stress over the hairlines. You could even use the layers independently on an acetate sheet so the text is only readable with a "decoding" sheet. This font has many possibilities, and the specimen document intends to show some of these and how to create them.

About HouseOfBurvo

HouseOfBurvo started as a portfolio website for showcasing the degree work of Matthew Burvill and other personal projects. Many of these personal projects were experiments into lettering—mostly concerned with basic geometric constructions, and how the basics of a latin alphabet are constructed. These were eventually released as fonts and from then on Matthew was hooked. HouseOfBurvo is now concentrating entirely on the development of new and exciting typefaces for modern typography, and it will continually strive to create fonts of the highest quality.
