Font Bureau was founded in 1989 by noted publications designer and consultant Roger Black and type designer David Berlow to serve the emerging needs of microcomputer-based magazine and newspaper publishers seeking unique typographic identities. The company began by providing font design consultancy to companies including Microsoft, but since 1993 has produced a prestigous library of fonts.
The Font Bureau, Inc. is an independent digital type foundry located in Boston, Massachusetts. The companyís primary goals are to provide consultation, type design, and typographic production services to clients requiring custom type development for their publishing activities. In addition, Font Bureau has a large library of over 500 mostly original type faces. These are available for retail sale in PostScript Type One for Macintosh and Windows format only (they do not produce TrueType format fonts).
The New York Times, Newsweek, Rolling Stone and the Wall Street Journal were among the first clients to commission type designs. During the past ten years, Font Bureau has designed over 500 fonts for over 100 publications. A few of these designs remain the exclusive property of the publications but most have become part of Font Bureau's Retail Library.
Font Bureau's retail library was launched with thirteen fonts and a licensing agreement with FontShop International in 1990. This retail library is now offered directly to end users by the Font Bureau and through a select handful of distributors including the Font Factory. |
