About the Foundry
AlfaType is a type-design practice established in 2006 by Joseph Miceli. Developing an original catalogue of fonts as well as commissioned typefaces for print and screen.
While AlfaType is mostly a one-man operation, I would like to send a special thank you to all the friends and collaborators who have helped me over the years. You know who you are.
For information and enquires write us at ciao@alfatypefonts.com
Pricing
We believe in fair pricing that reflects the scale and context of each client’s use. Font licenses are offered based on company size, intended usage (print, web, app, etc.), and our standard license duration is 5 years. A tiered system allows students, independent designers, small studios and large organizations alike to access high-quality typefaces at appropriate rates.
For custom projects or specific licensing needs—such as broadcasting, embedding, or multi-brand usage—we’re happy to provide tailored solutions.

Intern & Collaborations
The foundry is one of several activities in the graphic design, printing and publishing fields that co-exist in the same studio space. Although AlfaType is a very small scale operation, we do occasionally take on assistants and interns. If you would like to enquire about an internship, discuss publishing your project with AlfaType, or propose any other kind of collaboration, write to us. Serious submissions only please!
Custom Fonts
We do accept commissions for the creation of custom typefaces, please write us for more information. Our typefaces can also be configured or expanded into custom fonts, a service aimed at adding distinctiveness to one of our existing products to match the voice of your brand. Starting with one of the typefaces in our catalogue, we work with you to modify it formally and functionally, then we finalise the font files and deliver it along with a custom licence.
For more information, estimates and enquires write to: commissions@alfatypefonts.com
Trials Policy & Discounts
Our trial policy is simple: we provide friends, students, designers, etc. with fully functional fonts free of charge, on agreement that if you end up using them on commercial projects (as part of a book, magazine, website, or brand, etc) you will budget the cost of the appropriate licenses directly to the client. This way we hope to end up in more of your projects! Sound fair?
Sponsorships
We are always keen to associate AlfaType with worthy projects and initiatives if our politics are in line. If your non-profit project is interested in a partnership, send us a proposal for consideration. We also have special licensing terms for educational institutions licensing fonts for student use. Please email us for more information.
Payments
All prices are listed in Euro (€). AlfaType fonts are available for purchase only via our website. We use PayPal to process payments including all major credit cards. Please email us if you would like to make a payment via wire transfer.

Desktop EULA
Desktop End User License Agreement (EULA)
This is a legal agreement between you and AlfaType (“AlfaType”). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and upon payment of the license fee AlfaType grants you a non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable right to use the AlfaType font software (“font software”). This is not an agreement for sale of the font software or any portion or copy of it.
Definition
The term “font software” is referred to the computer program which contains digitally encoded scaleable outline font data and includes any related documentation, updates, permitted modifications and permitted copies of the font software licensed to you by AlfaType. You agree that AlfaType and/or its suppliers own all rights to the font software and its structure, selection, organization and code, including copyrights, patents, design and trademark rights. In addition, you agree that the code and structure of the font software constitute and contain valuable trade secrets owned by AlfaType and/or its suppliers. The font software is protected by International Copyrights Laws. This means that by buying the licence you only buy the right to use the fonts. The fonts themselves remain the exclusive property of AlfaType Fonts.
Standard User License
You may not duplicate or copy the font software except as needed to use it as expressly permitted by this Agreement. However, you may make one (1) copy of the font software for backup purposes. All permitted copies you make must contain the exact copyright, trademark and other proprietary notices that appear on and/or in the font software.
Modifications
You agree that you will not modify, add new functionalities, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, decrypt, disassemble nor create derivative works of the font software without AlfaType’s prior, express written consent. “Derivative work” is referred to any font software which is derived or based upon the hereto licensed font software binary data (or any portion of it). This means you may not modify the fonts in any way.
Embedding
Embedding of the font software into electronic documents or internet pages is only permitted in a secured read-only mode. Licensee must ensure that recipients of electronic documents or internet pages cannot extract the font software from such documents or use the embedded font software for editing purposes or for the creation of new documents. This means you may not modify the fonts in any way.
Transfer/Service Bureau/Printer
You may not sell, lend, otherwise transfer or sublicense the font software to any third party without AlfaType’s prior written consent. You may send a copy of the font software, or any portion of the font software, used in your documents to a commercial printer or service bureau to enable the editing or printing of your documents, provided that such commercial printer or service bureau has purchased a valid license to use the font software. This means that to output your documents you can either send non-editable PDF files, or your printer/service bureau/designer must get a separate licence.
Other Restrictions
You agree that you may not use the font software or portion of it (unless you obtain additional licensing) in the following cases:
Termination
The license granted hereunder shall automatically terminate, if you fail to comply with the terms and conditions hereof.

Limited Warranty
For a period of 90 days after delivery, AlfaType warrants that the font software will perform as outlined in the user documentation in effect at the time of the commencement of this license. AlfaType will undertake reasonable commercial efforts to correct substantial malfunctions occurring during this warranty period provided that such malfunctions are reproducible, your product is properly registered, and you give immediate notice in writing and sufficient detail of such malfunctions to AlfaType. ALFATYPE’S SOLE LIABILITY AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO BREACH OF THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTY WILL BE LIMITED TO ERROR CORRECTION OR PRODUCT REPLACEMENT. Such corrections generally will be incorporated into new revisions of the font software, or until the release of such new revisions into temporary versions, at AlfaType’s discretion.
EXCEPT FOR THE ABOVE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY, THE FONT SOFTWARE IS HEREUNDER LICENSED “AS IS”, AND ALFATYPE MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE REGARDING THE FONT SOFTWARE. ALFATYPE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
The font software is nonreturnable and nonrefundable.
Limitation of Liability
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL ALFATYPE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OF THE FONT SOFTWARE, HOWEVER CAUSED, (WHETHER ARISING UNDER A THEORY OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE), INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF DATA OR BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE FONT SOFTWARE EVEN IF NOTIFIED IN ADVANCE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL ALFATYPE’S LIABILITY EXCEED THE REPLACEMENT COST OF THE FONT SOFTWARE.

In other cases you may have to purchase an additional license if the font is used as a wordmark for companies and corporations of a certain size. Additionally, our standard EULA clearly states that you may not use the font software or portion of it as part of a copyrighted logo or trademark unless you obtain additional licensing. Please provide thorough details in order to determine the exact cost.
