Best Type Foundries Revealed

For those who love print as much as I do, you know that it is the small details that can elevate a piece from mediocre to magical. You also know what it is like to search through hundreds of fonts to find that one perfect typeface that visually and stylistically articulates the mood of your design.

So where do you begin? There are hundreds of type foundries and hundreds of thousands of typefaces. To help out I have rounded up some of the best known foundries and a few lesser known ones too. I know the list is long but I couldn’t call myself a typography geek if it wasn’t.
