a.Foundry

a.Foundry is a small Copenhagen-based studio making modern typefaces with a sharp eye for detail and a deep appreciation for Scandinavian design. The catalog is focused, not flooded, which makes it easier to work with. Each family feels considered. You’re not dealing with another batch of generic sans and bloated weights. These fonts are built for use, not for decoration.

Their core families, like Another Sans, Accu Serif, and Sted Sans, all come with 18 styles and variable options, which makes them solid picks for identity work, digital products, and editorial builds. The tone of the work sits in that sweet spot between neutral and human. There’s structure and utility, but just enough personality to give your design system a voice. It’s the kind of type that works when you need to be clean but not cold.

Licensing is one of the things that actually sets them apart. It’s refreshingly simple and priced in a way that doesn’t punish you for having a bigger client or more traffic. You can also grab trial fonts without jumping through hoops, which makes it easier to test and pitch without overcommitting. If you’re looking for a type foundry that still feels like a design studio — tight, modern, and quietly confident — a.Foundry should be on your radar.
