Typophile - Hottest Foundries - Comments

“Indeed, it sounds like Ryan is looking for original sources, which probably means foundries, not resellers. Thus, MyFonts and Veer would not apply.”

Stewf, I would argue that Veer does apply - at least in terms of being considered a foundry. The Jukebox collection is a Veer product, seeing as Jason Walcott produces new typefaces under contract to us specifically for Jukebox. Whether or not Jukebox can be considered a hot foundry given the aforementioned criteria, is certainly a debatable point.

Personally, along with many of the foundries mentioned already, I’ve been finding the work of Neil, Silas, Dino & Co. over at The Type Trust as hot as anything on my radar.

Sorry James, I didn’t have a copy of the book handy and was just being cheeky. No harm done, right?

I didn’t realize you were Terminal Design! Cheers. Are your types popular in the States? They look well exotic to my eyes.

I’m sort of new on the scene, and so I’m wanting to get up to speed on where the good contemporary fonts are coming from. There are enough books written about the past that I think I’m covered there.

So ... it’s probably a matter of opinion, but is anyone willing to voice their opinion on, let’s say, their top 5?

It’d be a huge help.
