Type Foundries

Among the many behind-the-scenes / below-the-water-line / beneath-the-surface activities undertaken as part of The Disciples; we are continuously adding, editing and refining our links to external resources.

Having been recently contacted by Fontwerk, about the launch of their new type foundry in Berlin; we thought we’d re-share the list of independent type foundries we’ve built up over the years below.

Think of these foundries as the equivalent of the best branding or packaging studios. Absolute masters of their art. They might not all have free trials (who’d work for free?), but you can at least take influence from them and feed it into your own practice. Can you defy Helvetica?

And a final note, Dafont and the like are absolutely not included.

>>> Here’s the list, a veritable rabbit hole of typographic treats <<<
