Monotype Fonts
Monotype Fonts is a cloud platform for discovering, managing, licensing, and deploying typefaces. Its library contains more than 250,000 fonts from Monotype and independent foundries. Search options include AI tags, filters, and a type tester. Users can organize fonts in lists and folders, activate or deactivate them, and import fonts from a personal library; administrators can invite team members and set access rights. The service runs on macOS, Windows, and the web, with sync and integration support for Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, InCopy, Illustrator, Acrobat, Sketch, and Keynote. Pricing starts at $199/user/yr and includes a 30-day trial. Trial access includes font organization, shortlisting, team invitations, personal imports, and unlimited mockups and prototypes. Subscriptions also allow unlimited mockups and prototypes, but commercial production fonts are limited by each plan's allotment. Desktop rights are not included; commercial distribution requires the appropriate desktop rights. Standard fonts count as one production font, variable fonts as five, and CCJK fonts may count as more than one. Subscriptions are billed annually.
