Type foundries
I care deeply about typography. Good type is invisible infrastructure — it shapes how everything on a page feels before you’ve read a single word. These are the foundries whose work I admire, own, and keep coming back to.
Switzerland
The Swiss perfectionists behind my entire headline collection. 19 families and counting.
New Zealand
Kris Sowersby's one-man legendary output from New Zealand.
USA
The gold standard. Gotham alone changed how America looks.
USA
Tobias Frere-Jones — the man who drew Interstate, Gotham and then started fresh.
Germany
Erik Spiekermann's legacy house. FF Meta and FF DIN are in the canon.
USA / UK
Schwartz and Berton's powerhouse. Graphik is everywhere for a reason.
Sweden
Göransson and Söderhavet's quietly elite catalogue. Ivar runs this very site.
Switzerland / Germany
The new wave. Variable fonts, open tooling, and Favorit is a modern classic.
UK / USA
Apercu is one of those fonts that just feels right the moment you set it.
Switzerland
Circular conquered Silicon Valley. Akkurat conquered everything else.
Switzerland
Small catalogue, zero misses. Maison Neue is as clean as it gets.
Czech Republic / Spain
Ivar Text and Ivar Headline — the serifs that ran this site for a long time.
Canada
The indie darling. PP Neue York is gorgeous and their pricing is refreshingly fair.
Germany
Old-school German engineering. Franklin Gothic is a workhorse that never quits.
Admired fonts are shown slightly muted — I don’t own them yet but they’re on the list.
