Who is the Fonts & Licensing poster for?

Fonts & Licensing belongs to the Art & Design section rather than to a school year, because design is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning digital design can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Fonts & Licensing poster?

Use it before installing a font on a project you intend to invoice for. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Fonts & Licensing belongs on the wall where that design work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

Is the Fonts & Licensing poster free to download and print?

Yes. Fonts & Licensing downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Art & Design section.

What size does the Fonts & Licensing poster print at?

Fonts & Licensing is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Fonts & Licensing loses nothing.Printing guide
