Fonts

King of fonts. Searching for that elusive font some designer used in a layout? Chances are it's here.

Californian digital type foundry. Good stuff.

Type resources, articles, books and free fonts.

Swedish digital type foundry. Fresh stuff. Some free fonts in their "pro-bono".

They design fonts. They also design chairs. We don't know why. Some cool fonts, some free.

Chicago type foundry. These guys are very hip. They leave their shoes at the door. (No, really, I went by there once, and they made me take off my shoes...)
