Typotheque

Typotheque’s core is the fonts. You get thoughtfully engineered families that cover text, display and complex scripts, with real OpenType and variable font support so type behaves across screens and print. Their catalog includes robust superfamilies and language systems designed for heavy editorial use and global projects, plus specimen pages and axis controls that let you size, pair and spec with confidence.

They also do custom work so the foundry is not just a store. Typotheque builds bespoke fonts, tweaks single glyphs, and adapts families for brand needs. They publicly document custom projects and client work, including bespoke fonts for organizations such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium and tailored HMI and brand type for Ford, which shows they handle both cultural and corporate clients.

The blog is not press release filler — it’s shop talk. Expect essays, technical notes and research on script development, accessibility, font systems and typographic theory, all written by people who actually design type. The articles explain design choices, OpenType support, multilingual issues and the how of building families, which makes them useful when you need to brief a type decision or defend a pairing to a client. The writing is referenceable and holds up as practical reading, not just promotional blurbs.

Fonts In Use is the example library you’ll lean on when you want to see a face in the wild. It documents book spreads, branding, signage and editorial projects so you can judge a typeface in context rather than on a specimen sheet. Between the font specs, in-depth blog pieces and the real world uses archive, Typotheque gives you the tools to pick, pair and justify type choices that work in practice, not just in theory.
