Fonts are designed by real font designers and the companies that sell them are known as foundries.
It takes approximately between 6 months to 2 years (and sometimes even up to 5!) to bring a font from its initial design stage to a fully digitised, kerned and hinted professional postscript font.
The foundries that alt.TYPE presents are all known for their meticulous attention to high-quality and cutting-edge type. Many of the world’s type classics are from these foundries presented here. |
