Ending MyFonts Shop & Annual Licenses

After consideration, Shina Design closed MyFonts shop in Sep 2025.

Behind this decision, there was also an ethical reason, this article may be already famous.

So Qualy Neue is renamed to Qualy Nova on my new official website.

This is also the intention to protect customers from the shakedown by Monotype.

For now, all official licenses are perpetual.

Because some customers let me know they are avoiding annual licenses on MyFonts.

And I also think this is the natural feeling.

After selling fonts a lot as perpetual web or app licenses,

selling the very same fonts as annual licenses is a little unnatural.

Yea, I know the common sense of the font industry has changed.

But I'd like to provide perpetual licenses as possible. 🙂
