	Type foundry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A type foundry is a company that produces 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.

	Bruce Type Foundry
		Type founders imagined that the new process would interfere with their business and refused to furnish the high spaces and quads for better molding.
		At that period each type foundry had established their own standards and type of one foundry would not be equal in size to another foundry.
		This was rejected, so the invention was demonstrated and used in the plant of the Boston Type & Stereotype Co. Through that plant's encouragement the invention became a success and was soon in general use in all American and European type foundries.

		We are both proud and humbled to be the de facto successors to multiple type foundries of historic note: included in our matrix library are fonts with the identifying markings of Perfection, Triangle, Neon, Empire, Castcraft, and Missouri-Central foundries.
		We are fortunate to have brought together nearly 10,000 fonts of matrices from which to cast type, ranging from 6 to 48 point, and some 1900 different borders and ornaments.
		Unlike the type foundries of the golden age, we will neither be producing a specimen book nor casting numerous type faces for an extensive on-hand inventory--this would be prohibitively labor-intensive.

	Typotheque: My Type Design Philosophy by Martin Majoor
		A type designer must know how type works in a piece of text, he must know what happens with the type on different sorts of paper, he must know how a typeface behaves with different printing techniques.
		The first printing types date from the 15th century, and they were all seriffed typefaces because they were imitations of handwriting.
		Consequently, even a great type designer like Adrian Frutiger made slanted romans with his sans serif designs, and it was only recently, when his Frutiger typeface (1977) was redrawn in 2000, now with a real italic instead of a slanted roman, that he acknowledged that a real italic makes a better contrast with the roman.
