Meticulously built years after years, our library includes type families suited for every aspect of typographic usage. We are passionate about our work. Each of our published typefaces is the result of years of teamwork at Typofonderie.

Typography brings meaning to words

Typofonderie has become over the years, a real institution in France and abroad. Our customers recognise the timelesness of our typefaces, which help them give meaning and strength to their projects, whether they are companies, brands, publications or institutions. Our typefaces can be found in the métro in Paris, as well as in Osaka, at the Opéra de Paris, La Tour d’Argent, Vuitton, Séphora, Galeries Lafayette, Yves Saint Laurent Beauty and are used by the French Olympic team. You will also encounter them in museums, in the Who’s Who, Wired, at Dell, at the Boston Consulting Group and in the Alps thanks to SwissSki. Hillary Clinton and Emmanuel Macron used our typefaces during their presidential campaigns. The palais de l’Élysée uses three of our typefaces families for the identity and communication of the French president.
