A font available on a designer's computer is not automatically cleared for every commercial workflow. Identify the actual asset and the terms governing its use.
WIPO advises businesses to obtain rights appropriate to their intended use of creative material. WIPO — Why Copyright Matters to SMEs.
Read the relevant terms
For a character pack, distinguish the designed output from transferring the font file to another organisation or service. Do not infer one permission from the other. The applicable licence and jurisdiction determine the actual position.
Preserve the source record
Keep the font identity and relevant permission evidence with the artwork record. If production moves to another team or platform, review the changed workflow. A complete-looking layout should not conceal an unresolved third-party asset dependency.
