Important!

TypeCulture’s OpenType fonts are great typographic tools, but before purchasing OpenType fonts, you should read Adobe’s OpenType ReadMe page for valuable information on such topics as “Mac OS Issues”, “Windows® Issues”, and “Application Compatibility and Issues”.  Before buying, find out if you have the computer operating system and applications for making the most of OpenType!
