Extensis / Monotype Connect

Font and creative asset management software with license compliance reporting.

Visit Extensis / Monotype Connect

Monotype Connect, formerly Extensis Connect + Insight, is a font management platform that centralizes font libraries and gives teams control over font usage and licensing. It addresses the problems of scattered font files, inconsistent versions, and unclear license exposure across creative projects, replacing manual tracking with shared libraries and compliance reporting.

The platform includes a centralized font library with smart search and tagging, font import, license management tools, and project risk scanning that checks Adobe files for licensing issues. It integrates with Adobe plugins, Microsoft Office, Google Docs, and other workflow tools, and offers Auto-Activation with Font Sense for Adobe design programs. Pro adds a larger searchable font catalog, advanced reporting, and web font tools with domain assignment and hosting.

Monotype Connect is aimed at creative teams, large organizations, and agencies managing fonts across regions and production environments. It is packaged in per-user annual plans: a standard edition for growing brands and a Pro edition for large teams, with a separate offering for agencies.
