About Type Consortium

We host talks, a shared specimen wall, and the unromantic work of EULA comparisons.

A consortium for type designers and users — specimens, licence clarity, and a complaint path when a face is stolen.

Letters with a licence. If you want a free-font carnival that ignores designers, we are the wrong consortium.

The EULA PDF and the URL where the face is already live. That is the case.

Questions people actually ask

Do you sell fonts?
We host clarity. Sales stay with the foundry.
Can you sue for me?
We help with the path. We are not your counsel.
Variable / web / app?
That is why the clinic exists. Bring the use.
Pirate sites?
Document and write. We do not run a raid fantasy.
