![]() ![]() Creating websites without desktop access to webfonts is a major hurdle for designers who rely on apps like Photoshop for comping. Those who pay for the Professional ( $40/mo.) or Master subscriptions get 30-day access to all the fonts from Monotype’s internal libraries, which include Monotype, Linotype, ITC, Bitstream, and Ascender.įor many font users, these services are a godsend. This includes all desktop apps, not just those from Adobe.Īdobe’s announcement comes on the heels of Monotype’s SkyFonts product which offers time-limited desktop access to any of ’s webfonts for free. Come mid-June, paid subscribers of Creative Cloud ( $50/mo.) or Typekit Portfolio ( $50/yr.), Performance, and Business plans will get access to some Typekit fonts directly in their desktop OS. This move was widely expected - once Adobe acquired Typekit in 2011 we all knew that they would use the fonts to add value to their core software, but just how they were going to do that was less clear. Instead, they subscribe to a Creative Cloud membership and get access to the apps through an online account.Īlong with this announcement came the news that Typekit will be included in the Creative Cloud product. Designers will no longer license desktop copies of Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign and use them “forever” (though that word is obviously limited by each version’s practical lifespan). Yesterday, Adobe declared that Creative Cloud is its future. I am kind of angry right now, mainly at how poor these Designer sites are designed, making you go in circles without ever giving you the information straight up, talk about lack of effective communication.įontstore, another alternative, doesn't even include the Futura and Bodoni family, JEEZ.Library Subscriptions: The Future of Fonts?
