Tipos online: Directório das fundições digitais, ordenado alfabeticamente
[Ler mais...]
Entre os requisitos essenciais para um bom trabalho de tipografia está, em primeiro lugar, a boa matéria-prima: fontes digitais de primeira qualidade. Nesta secção, listam-se (e comentam-se) web-sites onde vê-las e obtê-las.
Todas as empresas que comercializam fontes digitais têm sites para apresentar em detalhe os desenhos e vender as fontes. Basta possuir um cartão de crédito.
O tamanho das empresas e as ofertas variam. Existem pequenas digital foundries e as produtoras dos indie fonts, que vendem apenas meia dúzia de fontes – o que não deixa de ter interesse, pois esses pequenos produtores independentes vão colmatando as lacunas de criatividade que os grandes supermercados de fontes (como a Monotype/ Linotype, por exemplo)
Não passa uma semana em que não haja novidades a apresentar no web tipográfico. Hoje, os sites das «digital foundries» substituem os antigos mostruários editados pelas fundições de tipos de metal. Na maioria destes web-sites, os interessados podem comprar as fontes directamente online.

Berthold Types _OldFace
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Berthold is a name long associated with type design. H. Berthold AG was one of the largest and most successful type foundries in the world for most of the modern typographic era. Established in 1858 by Hermann Berthold and based in Berlin, the company played a key role in the introduction of major new typefaces and was a successful player in the development of typesetting machines.
The H. Berthold foundry's most celebrated family of typefaces is arguably Akzidenz-Grotesk (released 1896), an early sans-serif which prefigured by half a century the release of enormously popular neo-grotesque faces such as Helvetica. In 1950, type designer Günter Gerhard Lange embarked upon a long affiliation with the company, for which he designed various original typefaces, including Concorde and Imago, and oversaw the foundry's revivals of classic faces such as Garamond, Caslon, Baskerville, and Bodoni.
Beset by financial troubles, H. Berthold AG ceased operations in 1993. Berthold Types Ltd. , a Chicago-based company, took over distribution of the Berthold digital type library and has released several new typefaces under the direction of Lange, who had retired in 1990, but now serves as artistic consultant to the new Berthold.

Nick Shinn
Foundry
Shinntype was founded in Toronto in 1998 to publish the type designs of Nick Shinn, and has since released sixteen retail typeface families. Shinntype fonts are available from Faces, Fonts.com, FontHaus, FontShop, Fontworks, MyFonts, Phil’s Fonts and Veer. Commissioned work is also undertaken, most notably a typeface to commemorate the author Mordecai Richler, in 2001. Custom types have been produced for newspapers such as The Birmingham News (Alabama), The Chicago Tribune, The Daily Express (London), The Daily Mail (London), The Globe and Mail (Toronto), The Montreal Gazette, and The St. Petersburg Times (Florida). Fonts with exclusive rights have been created for corporations such as Thomson Nelson, Enbridge, Rogers Communications Inc., and Martha Stewart Living.
Designer
Nick Shinn, R.G.D. was born in London, England in 1952, educated at Bedford, and acquired a Dip.AD in Fine Art (1974) from Leeds Polytechnic, Yorkshire. He has lived in Toronto since 1976. During the 1980s he was an art director and creative director at a number of advertising agencies, and a partner in the environmental marketing company Earthmark from 1988 to 1990. He went digital in 1989 and started the Shinn Design studio, which specialized in publication and marketing design during the 1990s. He has been a member of the Association of Registered Graphic Designers of Ontario (R.G.D.) since its inception in 1996.
Scope
Between 1980 and 1998 Shinn designed seven type families for a variety of foundries. In 1998 he went into the font business full time, launching Shinntype to publish and market his fonts worldwide. Shinn's background as an artist, writer, art director and graphic designer informs his eclectic type designs, which run the gamut from revivals to experimental work exploring new technology, and are used in everything from packaging and advertising to internet, book, magazine, and newspaper publishing around the world. He has created dozens of retail fonts, including the casual classic Fontesque, the unicase-monowidth poetry face Panoptica, and the OpenType script face Handsome Pro. He is currently developing a suite of typefaces for international use, with Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic alphabets.
Other
Shinn has written for magazines such as Applied Arts, Druk, Eye, Graphic Exchange, Marketing, and Typographic, has spoken at the ATypI, TypeCon and Graphika conferences, and taught at Seneca College and York University in Toronto. From 2002 to 2006 he served as a board member of the Society of Typographic Aficionados (SOTA), which puts on the international conference TypeCon every year, helping bring it to Toronto in 2002.
