Asset Licensing & Intellectual Property

How Hermes handles website fonts and media, what is currently deployed, and how to request review of a specific asset.

Current website fonts

The current Hermes website self-hosts the font families Manrope, Source Sans 3, and IBM Plex Mono through local webfont files. Their deployed source files are treated as governed website assets rather than anonymous downloads.

Asset provenance and license evidence is being verified and maintained as part of the website compliance process. If a deployed asset cannot be tied to a source and compatible permission, it should be replaced rather than left undocumented.

Images, video, icons, and downloadable material

Website media should come from an owned, commissioned, licensed, open-license, or otherwise authorized source appropriate for the intended use. Client-supplied media remains subject to the rights represented by the supplying party and the applicable project agreement.

Third-party names and marks

References to search engines, software platforms, government sources, logistics marketplaces, carriers, brokers, vendors, or other third parties do not by themselves imply sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation, or trademark ownership by Hermes.

Publication rule

  • Do not add a self-hosted font or media asset when its source is unknown.
  • Record the source, applicable license or permission, relevant web-use rights, and a stable file identifier where practical.
  • Preserve attribution or notice requirements when the applicable license requires them.
  • Replace or remove an asset when its provenance or permission cannot be established.

Licensing questions

A rights holder, customer, vendor, or other interested party may request review of a specific website asset. Include the page URL and enough detail to identify the font, image, video, icon, downloadable file, or other material at issue.
