Are you guys part of H&FJ's secret web font beta, or are you using Archer on the web in violation of your license agreement with them?

(Serious question. I want to know if they're accepting applications. Still eager to get Gotham on my site.)



Looks like a violation, because .woff is hosted on their site and unprotected.


We're looking into this immediately. Thank you for raising the issue.


Best you can do: don't use Archer, use either something from Google or from Typekit.

Typekit uses many layers of protection, and implementing them would be difficult and not worth the time.

Second best thing: at least Base-64 encode the font, and limit woff usage to your domain only. Still trivial to hack, and doesn't really count as good protection, but better than what it is now. And you would still be violating ToS.

Thanks for raising the issue.
