The Production fonts page provides a centralized view of all fonts that have been approved for production usage.
Once a font has been reviewed and accepted through the licensing workflow, it appears here, helping administrators track licensed production usage, manage reporting, and identify potential license gaps before submission.
This supports the broader font licensing workflow in Monotype Connect+.
What are Production fonts?
Production fonts are font styles that have been confirmed for use in published, customer-facing, operational, or commercial assets. These fonts represent your organization's declared production usage and are included as part of your licensing and compliance reporting workflow.
Fonts may appear in the Production fonts list after:
Being accepted from the Fonts for review page.
Being manually added by an administrator.
Being identified during compliance or document scanning workflows and subsequently approved.
Being included as part of a production reporting exercise.
Open the Production fonts page
Go to Manage.
Select Font licensing.
Click Production fonts.
The page displays all production-approved fonts and relevant information associated with each font style.
Understand the Production fonts page
The Production fonts page includes the following information:
Column name | Description |
Font style | Name of the approved font style. |
Team | Team associated with the production font, when applicable. |
Source | How the font was added (for example, Admin, Review workflow, or scan results). |
Marked by | User who designated the font as a production font. |
Marked on | Date the font was approved (or marked) for production use. |
Latest activity | Most recent production-related activity recorded for the font. |
In prod | Indicates whether the font is currently counted as being in production. |
How can I manage production status
The In prod toggle allows administrators to indicate whether a font should currently be included in production reporting.
Mark a font as in production
Locate the font style.
Enable the In prod toggle.
The font is included in your production inventory and licensing calculations.
Remove a font from production
Locate the font style.
Disable the In prod toggle.
The font remains in the historical record but is not counted as active production usage.
How can I scan documents for production font usage
Use Scan documents to analyze supported files and identify fonts currently in use across creative and business assets.
Document scanning helps you:
Discover fonts being used in production materials.
Compare identified fonts against your approved production inventory.
Detect untracked production usage.
Reduce licensing compliance risk by surfacing discrepancies early.
How can I identify license gaps
The Production fonts page works with the broader licensing workflow to help identify potential licensing gaps.
A license gap may occur when:
A font is detected in production assets but is not marked as a production font.
Production usage exceeds licensed usage limits.
Fonts are used by teams or projects that have not been accounted for in reporting.
Newly discovered fonts have not yet been reviewed or approved.
To minimize compliance risks:
Regularly review production fonts.
Use document scanning to validate actual usage.
Compare scan results with approved production fonts.
Review quarterly reporting data before submission.
How can I export production font data
To download the complete list of production fonts:
Open Production fonts.
Click Export data.
Download the generated file.
The export includes production font details that can be used for internal audits, reporting, and license reviews.
What are the best practices for font license management
Review production fonts on a regular basis.
Verify production usage before submitting quarterly reports.
Remove fonts that are no longer actively used in production.
Scan documents periodically to identify new font usage.
Investigate and resolve any license gaps before reporting deadlines.
Ensure production font inventories remain aligned with actual business usage.
