Web projects are organizational tools for your library that provide access to the web font format of your fonts and allow you to group them together in one accessible place. They also provide sophisticated subsetting and font-hosting workflows, including usage monitoring and reporting features, for when you want to take your fonts live in your web applications.

1. To create a web project, begin by clicking on the Create new button in the sidebar.

2. Next, select Web project from the Create new dialog.

Enter a name for your web project. While this is optional, it's recommended that you also add a comma-separated list of domains where you intend to deploy your fonts.

Finally, click the Create button.

Your new web project will appear in the sidebar. Click on it to open it in the main view and start adding fonts to your new web project.

Just like with font lists, you can add fonts to your web projects from anywhere you encounter the Add to button throughout your font discovery and management journey—from the Browse section, search results, font and family pages, and more.

As an example, let’s add the Helvetica Now family to a web project.

1. Begin by clicking on the Add to button on Helvetica Now’s family page.

2. This will bring up the Add to dialog. Select the web project(s) to which you’d like to add your fonts. In this case, we’ll use the sample web project named “Web Project 01” that we created using the steps in the last section.

3. Click on the Done button to add the family to your web project.

4. Click on the My Library tab in the header to go to your library.

5. Click on your web project in the sidebar to open it in the main view on the right.

6. The font family you added (in this case, Helvetica Now) will appear as follows:

7. To limit the size of your web font package, only a select few styles of a font family (in this case, Helvetica Now) are added to your web project automatically. You can click the Expand icon to view all available weights and styles, and add the ones you want by clicking the + icon beside each option.

8. To remove a style or an entire family, hover over a font row and click on the X-shaped remove icon.

Sharing web projects with members of your team is just as simple as sharing font lists.

Sharing and granting access to a web project
​

1. To share a web project, open a web project by clicking on it in the left sidebar.

2. Once the web project is open in the main view, click the Share access button to bring up the sharing dialog.

3. In the sharing dialog, select teams and individuals to share the web project with by clicking the + button next to their names. You can also search for specific teams or individuals using the search bar in this dialog.

4. Once you’ve added users to a web project, you can also define their access level by clicking on the access-level drop-down menu next to their name. This is set to View only by default, but can be changed to any of the following levels:

"Is owner"

Users with "Is owner" access can:

"Can edit"

Users with "Can edit" access can:

"View only"

Users with “View only” access level can only view the web project shared with them. However, depending on the specific permissions for their role, these users may be able to generate web font embed codes and download the web font self-hosting kit.

5. You can also choose to notify the users with whom you’ve shared your web project via email using the Notify shared users by email option toggle-switch.

6. You may also choose to share a web project with your entire company in one go by clicking the Share with entire company toggle-switch.

7. Once you’re ready, click the Update button to put your changes into effect.

Web font usage is reported as the number of page views for web projects and impressions for digital ads.

As a Company Admin, you can easily monitor font usage by clicking on the Reports button below the name of a web project/digital ad in the main view, as shown below:

Keep in mind that the number of page views/impressions is based on the page views for an entire web project or digital ad.

For example, if your web project contains 10 fonts and is used on a webpage that receives only one page-view, your report will show one page view, not 10.

In case of overages, Monotype will not turn off its hosted service or send an invoice for overages. However, we may reach out to you if your consumption greatly exceeds the allowance.

1. To revoke a user’s access to a shared web project, open the sharing dialog, search for the user or team, and hover over the checkmark icon next to their name.

2. This will toggle the checkmark icon to an X-shaped Remove Access button. Click on it to revoke access.
