National is a deceptively simple sans serif with subtle quirks in the details that give it a distinctive – but not distracting – personality. While National travels through, and touches on, a lot of historical material, it is designed to thrive in our modern typographic climate. National’s details are drawn from the best pre-Akzidenz grotesques, giving it a humble, workmanlike character with an agreeable tone of voice. Its extensive character set includes a wide array of accents, seven numeral sets, alternate forms for some base glyphs, and small caps across all styles. In short, all the good things that the exacting typographer should expect from a contemporary OpenType typeface.

Klim End User License Agreement / version 1.4, December 2009

This is an agreement between you, the purchaser, and Klim. In accepting the terms of this agreement, you acknowledge understanding and promise to comply with its terms. If you do not accept the terms, please do not complete the purchase transaction.

What you are purchasing from Klim is the license to use digital typeface software – hereafter “fonts” – on a certain number of computers within your organization; you are not purchasing the copyright to the design of the fonts, but the rights to use the fonts.

The number of computers on which you may install the fonts is dictated by the number of licenses you have purchased. Please see the Klim license table. You can purchase additional licenses at any time, granting you the rights to use the fonts on additional computers per the license table.

You may make archival copies of the fonts for your own purposes. You may not distribute the fonts to people outside of your organization. A copy of the fonts may be sent as part of a file release to a prepress bureau, if absolutely necessary. The fonts may be embedded in other documents, such as Portable Document Format (PDF) or Flash files (including sIFR), so long as the fonts are embedded in such a way that they can not be extracted. The fonts can not be embedded in Word or PowerPoint documents.

The fonts may not be used with any web font replacement technologies which provide third-party access to the font files, such as Cufón or @font-face.

You may modify the fonts for your own purposes, but the copyright remains with Klim, the number of computers covered by the license remains the same, and all terms of this EULA remain in force. You may not commission a third party to modify the fonts without first gaining permission from the designer through Klim. You may not sell or give away modified versions of the fonts.

We have done everything we can to produce our fonts to the highest and most up-to-date technical standards, and we test the fonts extensively in the latest versions of technically-compliant applications. If you do experience any difficulties with our fonts, we will work with you to resolve any technical issues in the fonts. If, after we have worked to resolve any technical issues, you are still not satisfied with our software, we will be pleased to refund your money, which shall be the limit of our liability in this transaction.

We grant the rights of use of our fonts to you in good faith, and request that you adhere to the terms of this agreement to the best of your ability, and in good faith.
