The home for the true craft of type design.

We work with foundries around the world, ensuring their fonts are promoted properly, licensed correctly, and paid for fairly.

Our story

As the type design industry evolved, many foundries found themselves at a crossroads — wondering how to preserve their independence and creative identity while taking advantage of a changing landscape. We’ve built a model that answers this question: giving type designers the resources and infrastructure to thrive, without asking them to compromise what makes their work distinct.

Our vision

We are driven by a simple yet powerful belief: to be the place where great foundries live. We exist to be the enduring home of the world’s greatest typographic arts — enabling, protecting, preserving, and growing the foundries and designers who keep them alive.
