Discount
Shop

From our Custom pack, we let our customer choose our products à la carte.

About VAT
Shop

lo-ol type foundry is a company small enough to not include VAT in the products (for now).

Currency
Shop

lo-ol type foundry is registered in Switzerland, for which we have to issue our invoices in Swiss Francs. If you need an estimate prior to a purchase, we can provide it as a PDF document in the desired currency following the rate of the issue date.

Product Delivery
Shop

Your order is ready to download once your payment is validated. You will also receive a confirmation email containing the fonts as zip files. If at any point you want to download again your purchased fonts, you can find them on your account of our platform.

Invoices
Shop

All invoices are issued as PDF format files and available anytime from the Licensee's account. If you require an invoice in a different language (it is in English by default), please contact us at support@lo-ol.design.

License Owner
License

Who should buy the license? The designer or the client?

Anyone involved in using a font needs to be provided with a license. As designers use a typeface as part of their work, it is the designer who needs to get a license. If and when the client (individual person or an entity such as a company) wants to use the same typeface for the same work, the client needs to get as many licenses as individual users eventually involved in the project as they become additional users.

Updates and Upgrades
Design

We create and publish our typefaces when we believe them to be ready for the real world. However, we live in a forever changing world. Each typefaces will be updated progressively (additional glyphs for one or several scripts, new styles, weight or design axis...). We will notify our customers of any new update or upgrade. As some upgrades may require extensive work, lo-ol type holds the right to offer free updates or upgrades with additional fees.

Backup
Shop

If you want to download again previously purchased fonts, you can find them on your account of our platform.

Return Policy
Shop

Downloaded fonts are not returnable.

Font Engineering

What is a font?
Font

By the word "font", it is considered to be an individual style from a typeface that can contain several of them, called a typeface family. For example, Superheat is a typeface family with multiple styles such as Superheat Regular Italic and Superheat Bold. Digitally speaking, those styles are generated as individual files available in various file formats that we call "fonts files".

Font Format
font

For Mac OS X:

Open Type Font (.otf)
TrueType Font (.ttf)

For Windows OS:

Embedded OpenType Font (.eot)
TrueType Font (.ttf)


For Web:

Web Open Font Format File (.woff, .woff2)
TrueType Font (.ttf)
Embedded OpenType Font (.eot)

Difference between print & Web
font

Print typefaces use .otf file format. You will find all the characters and additional functionalities giving access to ligatures and special additional features. While .otf files are made for print usage (with Applications like Adobe Illustrator, InDesign and so on), for Web the font format used are .woff, .woff2 and .ttf.

User Experience

Trial Fonts
Font

How do trials work? What is in them?

Like a product sample, a trial is a version of our products that allows the person who downloaded it to try it on a project and help in his/her choosing process. Our trial files contain a basic character set (lowercase and uppercase Latin letters, default figures and some punctuation symbols) available in all existing styles and weights. No commercial uses are allowed with the trial fonts.

Language & Scripts
Fonts

lo-ol typefaces cover several languages using Latin script (Latin alphabet). We are working on the coverage for Hangul (Korean) and will notify our customers once they will be available. We keep at our discretion the choice of character sets for Hanzi and Hangul. Please note that because adding those scripts into their family require an extensive work load, we will provide separate licenses for each script. This said, if you are looking for a typeface with scripts that are not yet available, please contact our support team: support@lo-ol.design.

Legal & right

What is an EULA?
Licence

The EULA’s terms and conditions serve as the basis for all deliveries and services of the supplier to the exclusion of any other general terms and conditions of business. Each product, in our case a font or a font family, have an entitled contract informing the Licencee of what is allowed and what is not to do with the font, the number of user(s) and how it can be used.

Font License
Licence

A license is a legal permit specific to a determined number of products allowing the buyer to use it on a number of projects for a certain type of platform (all specified during the shopping procedure). We divide our licenses in three categories: Print, Web and Custom. If you have any question concerning our licence, feel free to contact us at support@lo-ol.design.

Font Trial Rights
Trial

lo-ol type's trial files let you try our product in a design or project. However, we trust our customer / future customer to make the right move. By that we mean: don't use our trial for any paid projects, whether commercial or not. Better summarized: we are available to discuss but trials remain trials. Use it only for your personal use and to make a better judgment on whether you need to buy this product or not.
