If you intend to use the font in a commercial publication (that is, you're establishing a publishing company, and have decided you absolutely have to adopt Tekton as a house font, then just contact Adobe and buy a copy. It'll cost you a couple of hundred dollars (or maybe more, possibly a lot more) to buy the rights to use it in all your work, but if you decide to use it, without permission, and Adobe decides to come after you, you'll spend more in attoreneys fees than it'd cost just to buy the font in first place.
I thought someone explained recently that a font wasn't copyrightable (?), which surprised me. If so, how could Adobe ever prove that you're using their specific font, and not a clone of it, if you don't publish anything in electronic form (where the specific font might be identifiable). How could they ever find out about it in the first place?

The font's appearance when printed can't be copyrighted, but the electronic files used to describe that font in terms that computer programs understand CAN be copyrighted.
Lots of people have duplicated fonts by reverse engineering them, but the original computer true-type or postscript files are copyrighted.
