Font Resources for Web and Graphic Designers

A curated collection of type foundries and font designers to level up your next design or branding project.

Where to Find Fonts?

One of my favorite parts of any design project is selecting typefaces.

Given free reign, I’ll probably spend more time than I should choosing the perfect pairings and putting together a bespoke type scale to get the hierarchy tuned in.

Whenever possible, I try to support independent type designers and foundries when choosing faces. There’s a fit for every budget if you know where to look.

That’s why I’m sharing my go-to list of type foundries and designers. You’ll find anything you need, from historical reproductions, to svelte sans serifs, to edgy avant garde designs, from designers across the US and around the globe.


Font Categories

To help wade through the options, I’ve sorted the links into categories. These aren’t exclusive or exhaustive; just a rough guide to help you find what you’re looking for.

Historic Fonts

Font reproductions, or heavy historical inspiration for many designs

Techy Fonts

Tech-oriented design sensibilities, with a heavy emphasis on digital typography applications

Trendy Fonts

Fresh enough to catch attention, safe enough for widespead commercial application

Workhorse Fonts

Understated, dependable typefaces that form the backbone of any design

Avant Garde

Bold, unorthodox typefaces ready to make a statement

Traditional

Typefaces that look conservative out of context; perfect for pairing with an unorthodox display font

Luxury

These faces look like money – a perfect fit for fashion and lifestyle applications

Font Prices

Prices range from literally free on the low end, to premium ($100s per font) on the higher end.

This doesn’t necessarily have any bearing on quality, though I do love the expanded glyph options and extra features that tend to come with more pricey typefaces. In my experience, premium pricing means premium quality.
