About this foundry
Village’s home for contemporary releases from young designers. The Incubator aims to help designers develop their typographic voices with gentle guidance from Village’s other members.
The Incubator project was officially launched on Village’s 3-year anniversary, Bastille Day 2008. The first new releases in the Incubator were Jordi Embodas’s “Orenga” — since removed by Jordi — and Jeremy Mickel’s “Router”, now available from Jeremy’s own MCKL foundry. Keith Chi-hang Tam’s debut design “Arrival” has been moved into the Incubator, as has Hugo d’Alte’s debut “Kaas”.

Incubator End User License Agreement / Version 2.2, January 2012
This is an agreement between you, the purchaser, and Incubator. 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 Incubator 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 fonts are provided in CFF-flavored OpenType (OTF) format. Additional formats may be available upon demand, and may require the purchase of supplemental licensing.
When purchasing licensing for fonts, you may use the fonts on the maximum number of computers within your organization as specified in the license table. You can purchase additional licenses at any time, which grant you the rights to use the fonts on additional computers.
The fonts may not be used with any webfont replacement technologies.
The standard licensing allows for the fonts to be embedded in other documents, such as Portable Document Format (PDF), Word or PowerPoint, for internal and production purposes only.
The fonts may not be embedded in other documents for external distribution, such as Portable Document Format (PDF), Flash files (including sIFR), Word or PowerPoint, without the purchase of supplemental licensing. Please see 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.
You may not modify, convert, adapt, decompile, or otherwise reverse engineer or create derivative works 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.
