In their own words
DesignPocket
DesignPocket is a font sales site operated by Imagenavi Inc. Its catalog contains more than 32,000 font items, including major-maker releases and harder-to-find typefaces. Most products can be bought as one typeface, while some are sold only as multi-font sets. Purchased products are generally available for immediate download and use, although certain annual-license products may require extra steps. The site sells individual fonts, annual subscriptions from font makers and server-font licenses from some makers. Annual licenses provide access for one year, with available fonts, prices and usage terms varying by maker and product. Search and filters cover family, typeface, weight, format, set or individual typeface, character set and price range. Listed formats are OpenType, TrueType and WOFF, with variable fonts and web licensing. Payment methods include cards, PayPay, convenience-store payment, bank transfer and business invoice payment. The 昭和書体・白舟書体 年間ライセンス costs ¥19,800 a year.
Font Bros
Font Bros is a storefront for display typefaces used in logos, websites, apps, videos, and other design projects. Its library contains over 44,400 styles, browsable by categories including serif, sans serif, handwritten, script, monograms, and special effects. Fonts are offered in OpenType; TrueType is included when supplied by the foundry, and other or legacy formats can be requested. Font Bros says its OpenType fonts work on Macintosh OS X and Microsoft Windows. Most fonts can be licensed for website embedding with CSS @font-face, with webfont files delivered after ordering. A desktop license allows installation on up to two computers per licensed end user, not for simultaneous use. The EULA permits company logo and professional design work under the relevant license terms. Some specialized embedding, such as in software, eBooks, or broadcast, may require an upgrade; per-order personalized resale products also require an additional license. Free fonts are available, and paid options start at $15 one-time.
