Digital Type Lines
THIS LIST OF DIGITAL TYPE LINKS has been removed from the main links page as digital type is not really considered one of the traditional book arts. However, it is a direct descendent of traditional type design and hand punchcutting so these links have been placed on a page of their own. The links lead to type designers, type foundries, and distributors of freeware, shareware and commercial fonts, as well as some reference sites.
As far as we know, all sites listed are still functioning: if you discover otherwise, or if you know of sites not listed here, please let CBBAG know via cbbag@cbbag.ca. CBBAG would like to keep this list accurate.
NOTE: Appearance on this page does not constitute an endorsement of any kind by the Canadian Bookbinders and Book Artists Guild.
