iFontCloud is a cloud font service for renting licensed fonts and using them on computers. Its catalog includes Arphic and Morisawa products, with filters for type, weight, language, application, style, and designer. Font rentals are annual subscriptions, and fonts in an ordered plan are available during its license period. The service also offers personal and commercial web font plans selected according to page views. The desktop app runs on Windows and Mac OS; listed requirements are Windows 10 with .NET Framework 4.6 or macOS 10.13 and later. Supported applications include Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, InDesign, and Premiere Pro, plus Microsoft Office and Apple Keynote, Pages, and Numbers. Members with an active font or package order can install included fonts on one iPad or iPhone at no extra charge. Registered members can also use four free fonts to check software compatibility. An account can be used on several computers, but only one can be logged in at once.
