Can Acumin Variable Concept be licensed? If so, where? All I can find are free for personal use or non-variable versions at MyFonts or Adobe fonts. I tried activating the regular versions at Adobe fonts but it is not matching the font in an Adobe Illustrator file that someone sent me. Thanks!

I am under the impression that it should come along with any current installation of Adobe Illustrator (via Creative Cloud). Are you saying you don’t see it in your font menu there?
Illustrator does not have a folder of fonts like this, but I am able to use Acumin Var in Illustrator on my machine, so maybe you just need to install InDesign? I'm not sure if those InDesign fonts are shared with all Adobe apps, or if there's another copy of Acumin Var hiding somewhere on my system.
That sounds like a fairly permissive license if you apply it to fonts.
Thanks for the info.
This font comes bundled with Illustrator CC and Photoshop CC apps.
I called Adobe and the guy said I was free to use it for commercial work. I asked if he could provide me with a license or a webpage where I might read it and he said no.
The version I purchased at MyFonts did not match the version that could be activated thru Adobe Fonts in Adobe Illustrator so I used the activated version that is not a variable font.
In the end the pre-press house did not have access to the Adobe activated font for reasons I do not understand. Maybe they are using version CS6 of Illustrator. So, I ended up using another font instead of Acumin.
I was reluctant to share my version of the bundled Acumin font because I was not sure the license is shareable to non CC users.
If I outlined the fonts would I have been honoring the license? I have no clue.
In an attempt to always make sure I am 100% legit with font licenses I still come upon time consuming BS that is really stupid. Super aggravated.
You’ll notice Section 1.2 “Additional Terms”, which includes a link for “Software”, a.k.a. “Software Additional Terms”. There, Section 2.1 covers “Font Software”, which refers to fonts that are bundled with applications you install (not the Adobe Fonts service, which has its own terms of service).
