Font Bureau

Font Bureau is a digital type studio known for its bespoke typefaces for American publications and a retail library boasting renowned fonts. Founded in 1989 by Roger Black and David Berlow, the company was a response to the demand for unique typographic identities by microcomputer-based magazine and newspaper publishers. Over the years, Font Bureau has adapted to industry changes by co-founding ventures such as Webtype in 2010, providing high-end online fonts, and Ready-Media, offering top-tier design in media templates for print and web. The company also supported the development of Font In Use, a website analyzing fonts in real-world applications. Font Bureau, headquartered in Boston, remains a small, privately held company, with independent designers contributing creative input.
