Global Type: Around the world via 100 foundries showcasing the power of the letterform - It's Nice That

gomotar.blogspot.com

Global Type was developed by It’s Nice That’s Creative Insights team, a new department that carries out research and analyses visual trends in the creative world. This team was behind The Lazy Report, published in January, and will be releasing downloadable reports throughout the year, so keep an eye out for more over the coming months.

Consider the many disciplines involved across the broad medium of visual communication and you could argue that type design sits at the heart. As a craft, it’s practical yet expressive, a voice calling out to audiences from the minds of designers across the globe. It’s the wordmark, letterform or script that so often defines our relationship and feelings towards visual culture, whether we’re working in the creative field or simply making our way through life.

With this in mind, we wanted to explore the immense and inspiring variety of independent typographers and foundries across each region of the globe. What first began as a sprawling spreadsheet of over 400 type designers has been refined into our latest Insights Report, Global Type: Around the World in 100 Foundries.

Part directory, part editorial exploration of the type-design scene, Global Type is divided into chapters based on regions of the world, presenting who we believe to be the most exciting emerging and established typographers from their respective regions. There are clusters of type designers, of course – particularly in Western Europe, where many typographers tend to head for educational opportunities – but hopefully new designers for you to unearth from Montevideo to Manchester to Melbourne.

It’s worth saying, however, that this is by no means a definitive list; nor is it an attempt to claim these as the 100 “best” foundries worldwide (we’re not sure such a ranking would even be possible). Instead, see this as a curated showcase of the designers and foundries who we believe are doing incredible work and who you ought to know about (and, ideally, commission tomorrow).
