Unfortunately it looks like Typekit will require that clients have their own CC license starting from next year: helpx.adobe.com/fonts/using/font-licensing.html "Q: Can I use web fonts for my client websites? A: The Terms of Use currently permits agency reselling, until December 31, 2019. After that time, your client would need their own Creative Cloud subscription to use for the web font hosting."
Keep in mind that as of December 31, 2019 clients will need their own Creative Cloud subscription to use for the web font hosting. ( - Reference: helpx.adobe.com/fonts/using/font-licensing.html#web-client ) Which I find quite expensive for a client, if they are not using Creative Cloud already. This means they now need to pay an extra monthly fee for the fonts on their website. There are a lot of 'pay once' for X amount of visitors/month licenses for fonts to find on other platforms.
Thanks for amazing video! :) I wonder what font size you would use as the smallest possible for chunks of text. I read 16 everywhere as smallest, but I kind of like the aesthetics if 14 more, looks cleaner I think. What’s your opinion on this? PS. There are such difference in resolution nowadays, small laptop screens to 4k or bigger. hard to please every monitor size
You can actually pick any font you want that is free for commercial use and simply convert it to a webfont using online converters, it's very straight forward and I've done this a couple times already.
Why? My prices change depending on client size, expectations, and scope of work. Why wouldn't a type designer's change when based on the same criteria?
@@juangermano8179 leasing a car would be the better analogy. You buy a shirt you own that shirt. You buy a typeface, or any other piece of software really, you're only buying the ability to use that typeface within the terms the type designer or foundry says. They still own the typeface. This is actually REALLY common. In most cases it is breakpoints of like 50,000 unique page views per month being the lowest tier then the cost increases. And none of this should be impacting you as the designer/developer AT ALL anyways. If you're paying out of pocket to cover costs of what your client needs - that's a problem. Those costs should be billed back to your client. If they're not okay with it then you find a different solution like Google fonts.
@@ryanunderwood6827 When you use Adobe Typekit for a page and the page gets manny views at some point (more than 50.000 for example) and the price increases what will then happen? Will you get a bill from Adobe ore will you monthly Adobe fee increase automatically? Ore will some bill go to the customer for whom you made the Website? (Sorry for my englisch I'm not a native speaker)
If you look hard enough, almost all the fonts you can download for free. Not saying you should publish your work with pirated fonts, but you can use it in your mockup to show your client first before purchasing it.
I love Adobe Fonts -- really high quality stuff in there. Great video Ran!

Thanks a lot! Very helpful video.
Video should called WHERE choose the fonts. But still nice, thanks.
Are all fonts available on adobe tyekit also webfonts?
Thanks a lot! I will stick to Google Fonts. 😊👍🏼
What if you're using a prototyping tool like Figma ?
Hello, do you ever use Google fonts?
Clear / simple / to the point. Very nice!
Font prices based on traffic statistics? Jesus christ this industry is getting ridiculous.

It's quite stupid. A t-shirt costs $20, weather you use it to sleep or to give a ted talk @@ryanunderwood6827

I need a business website.
I can do it for you
How about if I use premium fonts for free from other websites
I didn't know about Adobe Font, good thing to know ! Always giving good advices Ran, Thank you !
After making HTML web page ,how to share it to other people?
You have to buy a domain and hosting to make it online
Or host it for free using platforms like www.netlify.com/
With custom fonts and Webflow you can just upload them right? Doesn't need the CSS?
