About Extensis
What is Extensis?
Extensis is a font and creative asset management platform, now rebranded as Monotype Connect. It provides a centralized font library that lets teams organize, deploy, and govern fonts across regions, tools, and production environments. The platform helps creative operations avoid font chaos, where fonts are scattered across local folders, projects, and email attachments, with no single source of truth.
Who is it for? (and who it's not for)
Extensis is built for growing brands, large internal creative teams, and agencies that need to manage font licensing and brand consistency at scale, especially those using Adobe tools. It is not designed for individual freelancers looking for a free or basic font manager, as the platform is priced for team collaboration and enterprise-level governance.
Real use cases
Teams use Extensis to import and manage existing font libraries, auto-activate the correct font versions in Adobe design programs (via Font Sense™), scan project files for licensing risks before publishing, and track license usage in real time instead of using spreadsheets. The platform also supports web font implementation with domain assignment and hosting options for brand consistency online.
Key features
- Centralized font library — Manage all fonts in one place with smart search and tagging capabilities.
- Auto-Activation & Font Sense™ — Automatically activate the right font version in Adobe design programs.
- Creative risk management — Scan Adobe project files for licensing issues to identify problems before publishing.
- License management — Track and report on license usage with real-time compliance visibility.
- Workflow integrations — Plugins for Adobe, Microsoft Office, Google Docs, and application support.
- Web font implementation — Built-in tools for web projects, domain assignment, and hosting options.
