About

Nortype Mission and Design Philosophy

Nortype is a modern type foundry dedicated to designing accessible and inclusive typefaces. With a foundation in rigorous research and technical precision, Nortype challenges the misconception that accessibility requires a compromise in visual appeal or effectiveness. By uniting aesthetics, craft, and universal design, Nortype creates typefaces that are both beautiful and highly functional, offering designers robust tools for lasting visual durability.

Licences

Font Licence Options for Businesses

Nortype provides licences for companies of all sizes and needs. Licences are based on your company’s total number of employees, since the typeface represents your entire business, not just those who install the font. For example, if your logo uses our typeface, it becomes part of your brand everywhere. Using this single metric makes licensing simple and helps you stay compliant as your company grows. For details, please refer to our Licensing Guide or EULA.

Custom Licences

Custom and Specialised Font Licences

Desktop, Web, Video, Social Media, Logo/Wordmark, and App licenses are available in our online store for companies with up to 100 employees. If you require other areas of use or licenses for a larger company, please submit a Custom License Request or contact us directly. We will respond with a quote as soon as possible.

We do this to track who is licenced to use our typefaces. All information you provide to Stripe during checkout is handled by Stripe. You can read how Stripe handles your privacy here.
