Typography / Obtain and Implement licensed webfronts

[johnsBeharry]

We're currently using our own font files on peakshift.com but since 2012 when the sites were originally setup webfont embedding solutions of these fonts from the official foundries have become accessible and better optimized. They now all have systems like Google Fonts to embed their paid typefaceswhich they didn't have before.

For the new site launch we need to obtain an official license from the founderies - I suspect it's Monotype for Universe and Typekit for Tisa but this needs to be confirmed. It would be best if there was a provider offering both but this may not be possible.

Acceptance Criteria

• find out what the founderies offering Universe, and Tisa are, and their price.
• Sign up for a company account.
• Embed the licensed typefaces on templates and remove the current @font-face files.
• Verify line-heights and type layout is as expected.

Resource list
At first I wasn't sure who exactly were foundries and who were just offering the webfonts, but I found this handy blog this morning. I'll go through the list of foundries he listed and see if they offer what we want.
Should I consider the retailers as well?

@micey969 thanks for the link, I forgot font.com is a monotype company and they have Univers, and it seems they also have FF Tisa - we already have an account so I'll take this one over from you.
