typefoundry
Font manufacturing facility
A typefoundry is a company that designs and sells typefaces—the fonts used in printing and digital display.
Historically, typefoundries cast metal type for letterpress printing.
Today the term applies mainly to digital type designers and distributors: She licensed the font from an independent typefoundry.
Also spelled as two words: type foundry.
