What it does
Bold Monday sells retail typefaces and custom type work, with test files available after login. Desktop licences cover up to five devices at the base tier and are perpetual. Web licences are also perpetual, while app, ebook and broadcast terms vary.
The Test fonts download includes the retail library in OTF desktop and WOFF web formats. Sign in and accept the licence to add it to your account. These files have limited Latin characters and no OpenType features, and can be used for evaluation or noncommercial student work.
The catalogue separates designs such as Oskar for display and titling from Nitti Grotesk’s editorial role. A paid desktop licence covers up to five devices in one organisation; web coverage is for one domain and a chosen monthly visitor tier.
Apps that let people write their own text need a custom embedding arrangement with recurring fees. Apps showing fixed text instead offer per-title terms, including a perpetual option. A desktop licence is still needed for the people producing the application.
