Curated index of open-source typefaces, shown as large specimens with designer credits and no pay-to-be-featured placements.

What is Open Foundry?

Open Foundry, now in version 2.0 and built by the team behind Magic as a Service, is a free, non-commercial platform for open-source fonts such as those under SIL or MIT licences. Each entry pairs a specimen with the typeface name, its designer and a number, then links to the font's own project page.

It is a display rather than a distribution platform: font files are hosted only so previews can render and are never offered for download, and no designer can pay to appear. New open-source typefaces can be submitted, and the project is supported through GitHub sponsorships.

Best for

  • Finding an open-source typeface for a product or brand

Key features

  • Every listed typeface carries an open-source licence such as SIL or MIT
  • Specimen pages name the designer and point to the project's own download page
  • No paid placements or sponsorships; the selection is handpicked
  • Non-commercial project funded through GitHub sponsors
