Getting Started

What plan should I choose?

Webtype licenses are calculated based on your web traffic. We offer multiple plans in all sizes — from small to enterprise — and both hosted and self-hosted options.

Can I host the fonts on my servers?

Yes, we offer a self-hosting option that you can select in the shopping cart. The minimum license fee for the self-hosted plan is based on 2,500,000 pageviews per month.

What if I exceed my monthly allocation?

If you exceed your monthly allocation by 25%, you will need to upgrade to a larger plan. If your site consistently exceeds the allocation by 20% each month, we will contact you to upgrade to the next service level. 

What should I consider when choosing a font?

The Webtype catalog is organized into five categories: Serif, Sans Serif, Script, and Decorative. Webtype also organizes fonts by font size with appropriate size and use recommendations. 

• Small fonts - paragraphs - 9px-14px
• Medium fonts - subheads - 14px-48px
• Large fonts - display headings - 48 px or more

What browsers are supported?

Webtype supports Internet Explorer 5+, Firefox 3.5+, Chrome 2.0+, Safari and Mobile Safari 3.1+ and Opera 10+.

This covers all the popular browsers in OSX and Windows. Webtype also supports mobile devices such as the iPhone, iPad and Android. We constantly monitor other mobile devices and expect more devices to add support to their mobile browsers in the future.

Note: Fonts display differently across platforms and browsers due to differences in the font rendering software at the OS and application level. Each Webtype font was tested with this in mind.

OTHER MOBILE BROWSERS:
Webtype now supports Android devices (v2.2 +) and new Blackberry Phones with OS 6+. We will continue to add support to other mobile devices as the mobile browsers add Web fonts support.
