Monotype font licencing shake-down — Insanity Works

A detailed account of how Monotype attempted to claim font licensing violations using automated AI detection, incorrectly identifying two fonts. The author investigates and debunks both claims: Credit Cards was actually K-Type's free Credit Card font with an identical filename, and Proxima Nova had a valid Adobe license despite Monotype no longer selling it. The piece criticizes Monotype's aggressive, volume-based approach to copyright enforcement without proper verification, and advises purchasing fonts directly from designers or using open-source alternatives to avoid similar situations.
