We can safely say that using TT Lakes Neue in your work is like wearing classic jeans-they suit everyone and meet any life challenge.We started work on TT Lakes Neue by revising the width palette and increasing their number to five width: Compressed, Condensed, Regular, Extended, Expanded. Despite the general resemblance to the once popular TT Lakes typeface, TT Lakes Neue is a typeface of a completely different level: it features a much more mature approach to design, working with details and to its functionality and variability. (The question of where on the internet to find a free copy of Helvetica is beyond the scope of this answer coughpiratebaycough.TT Lakes Neue is a simple and functional sans-serif that draws inspiration from Finnish signs of the functionalism era. If you choose to go this route, you might have a strong case that it's perfectly legal, on the very low chance that anybody actually wanted to try to sue you for it. As far as I know, this is a pretty huge Grey Area as far as fonts are concerned. Copyright cases in other media have established that in certain cases, making copies of a protected work for personal, private, noncommercial use is legal. I'm not aware that any court has established any sort of fair use doctrine for fonts. That just leaves the question of fair use, which is a big one. In common language, the license says, "Even though this work is covered by copyright, we're gonna be nice and let you make some extra copies anyway as long as you stick to our terms." The license agreement, by allowing installation on multiple computers, represents a sort of voluntary waiver (by the author) of protections generally guaranteed by copyright, rather than an addition of new restrictions, and so would likely hold up in a court of law. (This is why other companies can create fonts that look so incredibly like Helvetica without infringing on the copyright.) Like Microsoft Word, once you buy it, any content you create with it is entirely your own. You're not buying the actual image of the font, just the code that creates the image. Technology-wise, the font is available in PostScript, TrueType, and OpenType variants all of these are useable on Linux if you have the right software installed.ĮDIT: As far as the dirty details of licensing issues: Fonts have been legally classified as computer software. The font file itself may be installed on up to 5 computers. personal use, professional use, whatever, it doesn't matter. With the basic license (which comes with any Linotype font), you're free to do whatever you want with any documents you create using the font. They sell individual variants for $26, or packages for a variety of prices depending on what they include. The simple answer is to buy the font right from the official distributor, Linotype.
