In 2014, Monotype bought FontShop, bringing most of the major font retailers under one ownership. Since then, several new alternatives (such as Fontstand, Future Fonts, Type Network) pushed against this consolidation of power. This is the biggest such launch yet. https://t.co/1vqYA8jkJy

Another distributor with a type designer at the helm. Like Fontstand, Future Fonts, and now ILT, it makes a difference when leadership comes from the community they represent.

TN’s focus on custom type is unique among these young corps. Will be interesting to see how it grows. (...)

Your bio states you’re a designer & father. Do you teach your child to steal from other designers?

Or do you lend them good type books, introduce them to foundries w/ free trial fonts, set them up with a @Fontstand account, & show them how to kickstart new type on @futurefonts? (...)

Fontstand co-op, 気になって調べたけど全然情報出てないｗ プラットフォームの共同所有みたいな感じなんですかね。個人的には Dinamo のような「取れるところから取る」的モデルも裾野が広がらずに先細っていくのでは？という気がしていて、ここはもっとビジネスモデルの開発の可能性あるよな〜と感じとります

Y’all might know I am part of the small team working to set up Fontstand as a cooperative – and I’ll be looking closely at the data we get back from this survey. Please consider filling it out and helping us make this new co-op the best it can be!

We’re are launching an independent industry-wide survey for font users. We want to hear about your experiences: What works? What’s confusing or frustrating? What would you change? Your answers will help us decide how licensing works within the Fontstand Cooperative.

🔥 Fontstand is working on becoming a cooperative—co-owned and governed by the independent type foundries. No VCs. No middlemen. It’s a radical rethinking of how platforms should work—built on trust, equity, transparency, and shared success at its core.
