Fable Type Foundry — End User Licence Agreement
By downloading, installing, or otherwise commencing use of any Font Software offered by Fable Type Foundry (“Fable,” “we,” “us”), you (“Licensee,” “you”) enter into a binding agreement with Fable on the terms set out below. If you acquire the Font Software on physical media, this Agreement takes effect the moment you open the packaging. If you do not accept these terms, you must not purchase, download, install, or use the Font Software.
This Agreement covers Fable’s Full Licence, issued at the point of purchase, which includes both Desktop Use and Webfont Use as described in Section 2. Please read this Agreement in full before proceeding.
1. Definitions
“Font Software” means the digital typeface files supplied by Fable, including outlines, source data, and any related design files, in the formats described in Section 5.
“Licensee,” “you,” “your” means the individual, company, or organisation that purchased the licence, as determined under Section 3.
“Organisation” means the Licensee’s own legal entity — its direct employees and any contractors working under its direct instruction on its own behalf. It does not extend to affiliates, subsidiaries, or partner companies, each of which requires its own licence.
“Desktop Use” means installing and using the Font Software on a computer to produce static output — print, branding, artwork, and similar non-embedded design work.
“Webfont Use” means embedding the Font Software (as WOFF/WOFF2) via the CSS `@font-face` rule to style text on a website controlled by the Licensee.
“Primary Domain” means the single domain the Licensee has registered a Webfont Use right for; all subdomains of that domain are included.
2. Grant of Licence
Purchasing a Full Licence gives you a **non-exclusive right to install and use** the Font Software as follows:
Desktop Use — on up to two (2) computers within your Organisation, in desktop and cloud-based design applications (including Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop; Figma; Canva; and Microsoft Word and PowerPoint), to produce visual design work — branding, advertising, editorial layouts, packaging, signage, apparel graphics, logos, and comparable output — for personal, promotional, or commercial purposes.
Webfont Use — self-hosted on servers you control, on one Primary Domain (all subdomains included), to style text on that website via `@font-face` only. Webfont Use does not extend to apps, software, or any use excluded under Section 7.
This is a licence to use the Font Software, not a sale of it. See Section 4 for what that means.
3. Who the Licence Covers
A licence may be purchased by a design studio or agency on behalf of a client, or directly by the client/brand itself. The entity that pays for the licence is the Licensee.
If a studio or agency purchases the licence, it covers use of the Font Software solely for the specific client project the licence was bought for. The licence does not automatically transfer to the client — if the client wishes to continue using the Font Software independently after the project ends, the client must obtain its own licence.
If a client purchases the licence directly, the client may permit third-party designers or contractors to install the Font Software temporarily, solely to produce work for that client. All copies must be deleted once the relevant project is complete.
Each licence covers a single legal entity. Affiliates, subsidiaries, and partner companies must obtain their own separate licences.
4. Ownership & Title
Fable retains all intellectual property rights in the Font Software at all times, including in any copies you make (such as backups). The structure, code, and design logic of the Font Software are Fable’s confidential trade secrets, protected under Singapore copyright law and applicable international treaties.
Nothing in this Agreement transfers to you any patent, copyright, trademark, or other proprietary right beyond the specific, limited licence described in Section 2. You may not alter, redistribute, or resell the Font Software — whether modified or not — to any third party.
A single Full Licence is tied to a single licensed identity within one Organisation. It may not be shared across departments, colleagues, friends, or family, nor distributed via a shared network or server, without separate written authorisation from Fable. You must take reasonable steps to prevent the Font Software from being uploaded to public or shared repositories, cloud design libraries, or template systems accessible outside your Organisation.
Where a cloud-based design platform (such as Figma or Canva) requires uploading the Font Software to render it, you may do so only within a private brand library, team, or workspace restricted to your own Organisation. You may not publish, share, or otherwise make the Font Software accessible to other users, teams, or accounts on such a platform, including via public or shared templates.
5. Technical Terms & File Integrity
Font Software is supplied as .OTF files for Desktop Use, and as .WOFF / .WOFF2 files for Webfont Use. You may not convert the file format or open and alter the underlying font source. Reverse-engineering, decompiling, or otherwise attempting to extract the font’s working files is not permitted, and copyright notices embedded in the software must not be removed or altered.
You may not use the letterforms or design characteristics of the Font Software as the basis for a typeface of your own creation.

6. Physical Products
You may use the Font Software to design artwork for physical goods (apparel and similar merchandise), with no cap on unit volume or print run, provided the use otherwise complies with this Agreement.
7. Where the Licence Does Not Reach
The Full Licence covers Desktop Use and Webfont Use only, as defined in Section 2. It does not cover:
Software & interactive products — mobile or desktop applications, video games, e-books, embedded software, kiosks, or any device/operating-system interface. (Styling text on your licensed website under Section 2’s Webfont Use remains permitted — this exclusion is about embedding the Font Software inside apps, software, or interactive products beyond that.)
Film & broadcast — television, streaming platforms, feature film, or documentary production of any kind.
Third-party redistribution — sharing your licensed copy with another individual, company, or production vendor. Each user needs their own licence. When sending artwork to an external party (e.g. a print bureau) for production, convert text to outlines first; if they need to make edits, they’ll need their own licence.
Any of the above requires a separate licence extension — contact type@fable.sg to discuss.
8. Restricted Content
Regardless of licence type, the Font Software must not be used to produce content that is hateful, discriminatory, violent, or extremist; pornographic or sexually explicit; fraudulent or deceptive; or connected to gambling, weapons, or unlawful activity of any kind. Fable retains discretion to determine what falls within this restriction.
9. AI, Machine Learning & Automated Systems
The Font Software — including its underlying glyph shapes, outlines, spacing, kerning data, source files, and any rendered output derived from it — may not be used, directly or indirectly, to build, train, fine-tune, or otherwise improve any artificial intelligence, machine learning, generative, or large language model system, however such a system is described or named.
This extends to submitting, uploading, scraping, or otherwise feeding the Font Software (or images/renders generated from it) into any dataset, model-training pipeline, or automated extraction process intended to reproduce, approximate, or learn from its design characteristics. Use of general, non-reconstructive descriptive information (such as a typeface’s name) falls outside this restriction, provided it cannot be used to recreate the Font Software or its visual design in any form.
10. Embedding in Documents
You may keep archival backup copies of the Font Software beyond your two licensed devices, provided they stay within your Organisation.
Embedding the Font Software in a PDF, Word, or PowerPoint file is allowed only where the file is locked to view/print-only mode, blocking text selection, editing, or font extraction — and only for non-commercial, internal, or informational use (e.g. a document shared with a print bureau). If that restriction can’t be guaranteed, the file may only be opened on devices already covered by your licence.
11. Licence Compliance
Fable periodically reviews orders and may contact you to confirm your licence tier matches your actual use. If Fable determines that your use of the Font Software exceeds what your licence permits — more devices, a domain beyond your Primary Domain, or a use requiring an Extension under Section 7 — you must either bring your use into compliance or pay the difference between your correct tier and what you originally paid, multiplied by two (2), within 14 days of notice.
12. Warranties, Liability & Ending the Agreement
No warranty. The Font Software is provided “as is,” with no express or implied warranty — including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose — and no ongoing support obligation.
Limits on liability. Fable is not liable for lost profits, lost business, lost goodwill, lost data, or indirect/consequential loss arising from your use of the Font Software. You use it at your own risk. Neither Fable nor its staff, contractors, or the typeface’s designer are liable for design flaws, business interruption, or personal injury/property damage connected to its use. This limitation covers Fable’s staff and contractors as well as Fable itself. Where Fable is found liable for any other claim under this Agreement, that liability is capped at what you paid Fable in the twelve (12) months before the claim arose.
None of the above limits Fable’s liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or loss arising from fraud.
Ending this Agreement. Fable may terminate this Agreement on written notice if you commit a remediable breach and don’t fix it within 30 days (7 days for unpaid fees), commit a breach that can’t reasonably be fixed, or appear unable to meet your financial obligations. On termination, you must permanently delete all copies of the Font Software, including backups; all licence rights end immediately. A confirmed violation of this Agreement may result in immediate termination and legal action to recover damages.
13. General Provisions
Your team’s compliance: you’re responsible for making sure employees or others with access to the Font Software know and follow these terms.
Export: you agree not to export or re-export the Font Software in violation of applicable law.
No transfer: you may not sublicense, resell, lease, assign, or subcontract your rights or obligations here without Fable’s prior written consent.
Force majeure: Fable isn’t liable for delays caused by circumstances outside its reasonable control (natural disasters, fire, supply disruption, etc).
Severability: if any part of this Agreement is unenforceable, that part is severed and the rest stays in effect.
Waiver: Fable not enforcing a right on one occasion doesn’t waive that right going forward.
Updates: Fable may revise this EULA as the business or technology landscape evolves; changes take effect on posting, and you’re responsible for checking the current version before further licensing.
Governing law & disputes: this Agreement is governed by the laws of Singapore. Any dispute may be brought before the Singapore courts or, at Fable’s discretion, referred to arbitration in Singapore under the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC).
All rights not expressly granted here remain reserved to Fable.
