General Font Usage Terms

These are the overarching font usage terms applicable to all fonts available on Deefont. The primary objective is to safeguard the intellectual property rights of font authors to the greatest extent possible. At the same time, we aim to provide authors with the flexibility to supplement or modify these terms as they see fit, particularly by including additional details in a readme.txt file.

It’s important to note that some font authors may not furnish comprehensive information in their individual terms. Therefore, these general terms encompass the essential elements, offering a protective framework for intellectual property rights that might otherwise be overlooked.

We encourage font authors to take advantage of the flexibility provided by including specific terms in their readme.txt files. This ensures that users have access to detailed information tailored to each font’s unique characteristics.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in promoting a fair and respectful environment for font usage on Deefont.
