This is a soft launch of the new Type Foundry Directory. A few things may be out of order while the finishing touches are put in place.

Support the directory and promote your foundry. (A win-win if you ask me.)

Thank you so much for your interest in sponsoring the Type Foundry Directory! From research to development to maintenance, the directory has largely been an independent effort. Sponsored nameplates were introduced in 2025 to help provide financial backing which allows me to allocate time, effort, and external resources to chip away at the roadmap.

Don’t just take my word for it

The directory doesn’t utilize any sort of tracking. I have no clue how many visitors come by each month. All I have is anecdotal data from foundries that have let me know that the directory consistently shows up in their referral reports, and other designers expressing their love for the platform.

Limitations & requirements

So what’s the fine print? In short, sponsorships are limited to three months within a twelve month window, all featured fonts are subject to approval, and nameplates are served using subset web fonts.

Pricing

Sponsorships are based on a no questions asked, pay-what-you-want tiered system. This is intended to make it affordable for small foundries, while opening up the opportunity for more affluent foundries to express their patronage.

Availability

I will eventually add a table here which automatically shows the nameplate availability over the next 12 months, but until then you can reach out to me directly to find out about availablity. As of July 1st, only December of 2025 is available, and then in 2026 March onward is available.

Morning Type Sunrise Scholarship

Sponsorships not only help fund the maintenance and development of the directory, but will directly contribute to two scholarship efforts.
