The independent type foundry index.

Buy direct from the designers who actually draw the letters.
No Monotype. No conglomerates. No middlemen.

There's no good directory of independent type foundries. So we built one. The type industry is dominated by Monotype—FontShop, Linotype, MyFonts, hundreds of "independent" faces. The Punch is the antidote. Buy direct. thepunch.studio

Optimo. The kind of Swiss foundry that makes you wonder why anyone bothers with Helvetica anymore. Founders Grotesk alone justifies their existence.

Grilli Type. Swiss precision, global ambition. GT America alone justifies the hype.

OH no Type Co writes better than most design publications. Their blog posts about Vulf Sans are worth the read even if you never buy the font. Independent, opinionated, excellent.

Typography has an ownership problem. Most fonts you use are owned by one company. Most designers don't know or don't care. The Punch exists because who makes your typeface matters. thepunch.studio
