Yes! If you are creating logos for a third party or client, just be sure to outline the font before delivering to your client (using “Create Outlines,” etc.).
Yes! Pretty much if it can be printed, it’s covered in the desktop license*. If designing for a client or third party, outline the font (using “create outlines” etc.) if delivering vector files of the design. If your client wants a copy of the font files, have them purchase their own license.
*Refer to Section 2a of the Desktop EULA below for exceptions.
A“user” is a single person or a single machine within a single organization. So total the maximum number of devices the Font will be installed onto and purchase the license that covers that number of users.
No. The Desktop license will cover Vimeo and Youtube (and like streaming sites for personal and brand user uploaded content). Broadcast licenses are for Television, cable TV, feature films, theatrical and cinema releases, and/or internet streaming and on demand content on streaming platforms (including Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, Disney+, Paramount+, Peacock, and similar platforms).
You’ll need 2 licenses: the desktop license for the print materials and decks for email, and the web license to use the live .woff/.woff2 fonts in your website (via @font-face)

An extended license may be available for an additional fee.
Licensee can use Font on products where font is incorporated into words or phrases, for example a t-shirt that says “I Love Cats” or a sticker that says “I've Got Worms”.
