Really Hasbro? Even you won’t pay for the font?

Oh, ok.
I was partially joking. Hasbro, or at least their affiliates given license to use the MLP property to make stuff like merchandise and games, have been known to use Celestia Redux for a font instead of Generation B, probably because it’s free/cheap (made by a fan) and doesn’t cost money like Generation B does.
Just like how affliations of the Walt Disney Company, and/or Disneyland/other parks, use the unofficial Waltograph (Walt Disney’s signature) and Ravenscroft (Haunted Mansion ride) font instead of a font the company created and owns.

I’ll bet they’re gonna call them out. Unless they’ve done so already.
Yea can’t copyright the typeface (i.e the font appearance) but you can copyright the code. A font cones in font files, and someone had to produce this file.
Essentially.
In more ways than one?
Considering your explanation, Font Bros. is just shooting themselves in the foot.
Hasbro is being sued because they used the font outside the license, and distributed it randomly–even making it available for download at one point.
This is not hard to understand…
We need to get moar folks to share this image with the defense attorneys.
So it looks like Font Bros knew about Hasbro s use of the font before hand. This will most likely kill there case .
And King owns the right to the word Saga.
In something I plan on writing, original or fanmade, Hershey owns the rights to the words ‘chocolate’, ‘mutter’ and ‘embargo’, the color #FF27A3 and Scootaloo’s accent.
Yep. You’ve got portions of genetic code that are copyrighted. Both naturally-occurring plants and, possibly, sections of the human genome.
Copyright law is insane, and serves to restrict creativity and innovation more often than not nowadays.
Sencod: And much more importantly. how much money do they have to burn on this lawsuit? Hasbro is pretty well known for their battery of Lawyers and this kind of trials take years to settle.
