Type Network
Brooklyn, New York, United States
What it is
Type Network provides font licensing, downloads, typography advice, and related services for businesses and organizations. Its catalog brings together designers from nearly 100 foundries in 15 countries, with fonts for scripts beyond Latin and expert help pairing type with scripts used in India, Southeast Asia, China, Japan, and Korea. License options cover desktop, web, ePub, apps, and servers, with team and enterprise options also described. Desktop licenses let customers install fonts for use in applications such as Microsoft Office/365, Adobe Creative Cloud, Canva, and Figma, subject to licensing exceptions. Web fonts can be hosted through Type Network’s CDN or downloaded for self-hosting; formats include OTF, TTF, WOFF, WOFF2, and EOT. Web licenses use a selected pageview allocation, and the company says it will request an upgrade if usage exceeds that limit by more than 25%. A free 30-day trial is available for hosted web fonts, without downloadable files. Services include custom typeface development, font customization, language expansion, variable fonts, lettering, and consulting. The company launched in 2016 and is based in Brooklyn, New York.
