Every designer knows at least some good type foundries like Linotype, Dafont, Adobe and The Font Bureau. If you don’t know these foundries, shame on you. A designer wants to be original; sometimes needs to use unique fonts for their demanding clients. I have written down a small list of foundries and font designers you might not know. If you look hard enough you sometimes find a free font. So check them out…
