A
type foundry is a company that designs and/or distributes typefaces. Originally,
type foundries manufactured and sold metal and wood typefaces and matrices
for line-casting machines
like the Linotype and Monotype machines designed to be printed on letterpress printers. Today‘s digital type foundries accumulate and distribute typefaces (typically as digitized fonts) created
by type designers, who may either be freelancers operating their own independent foundry, or employed by another foundry. Type foundries may also provide custom type design services.
