Draft:Font Bros

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Font Bros is a typography supply company based in Eau Claire, WI specializing in the distribution and licensing of unique display fonts for various design projects, including logos, websites, applications, and videos. Established in 2006, the company aims to support independent font designers by managing the business aspects of font distribution, allowing designers to focus on their creative work.

History

[edit]

Launched in 2006, Font Bros was created to assist independent font designers who prefer to concentrate on design rather than the complexities of running a font foundry. The company handles tasks such as font installation support, licensing inquiries, legal agreements, and monitoring font usage, thereby enabling designers to dedicate more time to their craft.

Services

[edit]

Font Bros offers a comprehensive library of over 37,000 typeface styles,[1] catering to visual communication professionals seeking distinctive fonts for their projects. The company provides font licensing services, assisting clients, including Fortune 100 companies, in securing the necessary rights for font usage.

In January 2024, Font Bros launched a fully revamped website to enhance the font discovery and licensing process. The new platform aims to make font discovery fast and accurate, simplify font licensing, and promote advanced font technologies such as variable and color fonts.

Commitment to Designers

[edit]

Font Bros is dedicated to ensuring that font designers earn a substantial income from their creations. The company offers an industry-leading royalty payout rate of 65% on all sales,[2] a rate that has been maintained since its inception and is now permanent for all current and future foundries represented by Font Bros.

Font Syndication

[edit]

One of Font Bros' unique features is its approach to syndicating its font offerings, helping designers distribute their work across multiple platforms and expanding the visibility of unique fonts. This helps designers ensure their typefaces are seen and used across a wider audience, further promoting creative diversity in typography.
