Licensing Options

You can use this font in any of the following places. Read the full EULA text for details about each license. If you have a usage in mind that's not covered by these licenses, contact us and we'll see what we can do.

Electronic Doc: for embedding in e-text products

You can use an Electronic Doc license to embed the font in an electronic publication such as an eBook, eMagazine, eNewspaper, or interactive PDF.

An Electronic Doc license is based on the number of publications in which the font is used. Each issue counts as a separate publication. Regional or format variations don't count as separate publications.

Updated versions of publications that are free to previous customers do not need a new license; otherwise, each new version that is released counts as a separate publication.

For font usage in graphic images shown as the ePub cover, consider a Desktop license instead as most allow for it.

Sunset Gothic Electronic Doc EULA

Digital Ad/Email: for use in HTML5 ads

You can use this type of license to embed fonts into digital ads, such as ads built using HTML5.

We'll supply a kit containing webfonts that can be used within digital ads, such as banner ads. This kit may be shared with third parties who are working on your behalf to produce the ad creatives, however you are wholly responsible for it.

HTML5 ads use webfonts, so why purchase a Digital Ads license rather than a Webfont license?

There are a few reasons, such as the Digital Ads EULA having terms that enable usage in digital ads and on advertising networks.

Digital advertisements also have different usage patterns compared to websites. Most websites generally have consistent pageviews month-to-month whereas advertising impressions can vary wildly month-to-month. Prices reflect this, making it much less expensive to use a Digital Ad license.

If you know the number of impressions the campaign requires, that amount can be ordered before the campaign begins. For campaigns where number impressions is unknown until the end of the campaign, you can true up at the end of each calendar month.

Sunset Gothic Digital Ad/Email EULA

App: for embedding in mobile applications

Select this license type when you are developing an app for iOS, Android, or Windows Phone, and you will be embedding the font file in your mobile application's code.

Sunset Gothic App EULA

Webfonts: for your website

Webfonts allow you to embed the font into a webpage using the @font-face rule, so paragraphs and headings of text can be styled as the webfont. You will be serving the webfont kit for your own site and linking it in the CSS.

Webfonts can be used on a single domain. Agencies responsible for multiple websites, for example web design agencies or hosting providers, may not share a single webfont license across multiple websites.

If the font file itself won't be embedded in the website (for example, when the font is used in a static graphic image such as a logo) you should purchase a Desktop license instead.

Most foundries on MyFonts offer their webfonts with the Annual license model. Click here to Learn more.

Sunset Gothic WebFont EULA

Desktop: for use on a desktop workstation

For the most common uses, both personal and professional, for use in desktop applications with a font menu.

For example:

Install the font on your Mac OS X or Windows system
Use the font within desktop applications such as Microsoft Word, Mac Pages, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, etc.
Create and print documents, as well as static images (.jpeg, .tiff, .png)

Desktop licenses are based on the number of users of the fonts. You can change the number of users by clicking the quantity dropdown option on Buying Choices or Cart pages.

Please be sure to review the listing foundry's Desktop license agreement as some restrictions may apply—such as use in logos/trademarks, geographic restrictions (number of locations), and products that will be sold.

About Sunset Gothic Font Family

Sunset Gothic is a painterly sans-serif rendered in the tradition of Los Angeles sign-painters. It is an homage in part to John Baldessari (1931 – 2020) and his mostly-anonymous letterers (among them Norm Laich); to Ralph “Doc” Guthrie and the LATTC’s Sign Graphics programme (the last accredited degree of its kind in the US); and to the brush-rendered, vernacular approximations of vector-based letterforms which can be found up and down Sunset Boulevard, upon which Colophon Foundry’s L.A. outpost is located.

Stretching from Figueroa Street and the Arroyo Seco Parkway near downtown Los Angeles and culminating at Highway 1 in the Pacific Palisades, the boulevard terminates in the West at the Pacific Ocean after meandering through Echo Park, Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, and Brentwood. Across neighborhoods, the busy thoroughfare is lined and dotted with commercial endeavors new and old, many of whose proprietors announce their goods and services to automobile-bound passers-by with typography painted directly onto building facades and shop front windows.Typical of this mode of communication is the primary requirement to attract attention and the secondary need to maintain legibility for viewers inside of moving vehicles; indeed, these letterform paintings are for car-drivers and -passengers first, and pedestrians thereafter. This implicit condition leads organically to typography that contains compelling forms amidst hyperbolized, often over-scaled features. Emulating this meeting point of gesture and legibility, Sunset is a dexterous, workhorse sans-serif masquerading as a sign-painter’s display type.Developed via observation and amalgamation since the designer’s arrival in Los Angeles in early 2016, Sunset Gothic is a subjective mélange of a multitude of unattributed sans-serif painting styles. Available in seven weights — ranging from the wispily elegant Hairline to the wryly assertive Heavy—Sunset is typified by a modulated / flared vertical stroke that can be found across sign-painting outputs and in typeface precedents like Hermann Zapf’s Optima and Aldo Novarese’s Forma. Additional identifying features include curvature terminals that mimic brush-lift, and a handy stylistic set that provides angled sign-painters’ terminals to the type’s horizontal strokes.
