No, the first two commas are extraneous as well.
From https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/usage-of-essential-and-nonessential-clauses https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/usage-of-essen... :
> Essential clauses modify key words and are important to the main point of a sentence. Nonessential clauses provide superfluous information that, while interesting, does not change the main point of a sentence. Nonessential clauses are offset by punctuation such as commas or parentheses to indicate the clause as an aside.
With the commas, it is a nonessential clause, which means the meaning should stay the same if it is removed. And that would turn the sentence into this:
> Monotype fonts carry the name affix "1450".
But that isn't the meaning of the sentence. It's not true that Monotype fonts (all of them, in general) have "1450" in their names. Only the ones that follow the recommendation do.
