LFF Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hello, I've just created a Logo in Affinity Photo, using an Anchor Symbol along with some Text, using the fonts "Big Carlson" and "Baskerville" (I've manually added some fonts, but I think they are default fonts that come with Affinity Photo, right?). As the Logo will be shown on websites and probably printed, too, my question is: Do I need to buy a license for these fonts, or can I use them for whatever and wherever? If I need a License, where can I buy it? Would be great if someone could answer that. LFF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 In general, fonts that come with what is called a desktop license that are obtained legally can be used for logos and printed work. No fonts come with Affinity software. Mike LFF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 If you are using a Mac, Font Book's Info panel provides brief licensing/copyright info for any selected font, & usually a method for contacting the owner.
