Web FontFonts are compatible with Typekit. Our partnership gives users an additional way to serve Web FontsFonts to their sites. The Typekit service delivers fonts from a global network of servers to every browser that supports @font-face. This means Web FontFonts compatibility extends to browsers not yet supported by WOFF and EOT, such as Safari®. Internet Explorer® (6+), Firefox® (3.6+), and Chrome® (6+) all support either WOFF or EOT.

How does it work?

Web FontFonts licensed on FontShop.com can be sent to a free Typekit account. After purchasing your fonts you’ll find a link on your checkout confirmation page. Simply click it to send your license and fonts to Typekit, then follow their instructions to add a single line of code to your site and your fonts will be served immediately. The Typekit option works under their free Trial account and hosting your fonts this way is purely optional.
