The Foundry

The Foundry is nearly twenty years old, started by partners David Quay and Freda Sack it has built up a library of fonts families of recognized high quality that are used by designers, advertising agencies, businesses and corporations around
the globe.

Although many of The Foundry fonts are my design or idea they could not have achieved the level of excellence without partner Freda Sack and in the last eight years the technical and design expertise of Stuart de Rozario.

The Foundry has been through several technical changes: first drawing the whole typeface by hand and having those highly precise drawings digitizing by outside technical experts in Ikarus, then learning Fontographer in-house and doing it ourselves, lastly with new cross platform OpenType format discarding Fontographer in favour of FontLab. Supposedly OpenType fonts will work without glitches in both a Mac and PC. Off course the technical changes have often overlapped and faded into the each other.

All the typefaces shown have a brief description, some have notes adding more background information, hopefully in the future notes will be added to all the typefaces.
