1. Underware — A small selection of fonts, but a real class act.

1. Underware — A small selection of fonts, but a real class act. both Dolly (shown below) and Sauna are favorites of mine.

2. Fountain — A large collection with a wide mix of styles. Atlantik is an interesting dingbat which I think I might have to buy, whilst Ketchupa is one of those fonts that I keep meaning to add to my collection.

 

3. The Foundry — A selection of brilliant, well crafted fonts. Foundry Sans was one of their earliest releases, but it is still a favorite of mine, I just really wish i could buy through their website.

 

4. Dalton MaagPlume and InterFace are favorites of mine, but everything that Dalton Magg produce has a real quality about it.

5. Typofonderie — Jean François Porchez is a bit of a legend and I am very fond of his. Parisine PTF in a light weight is especially nice.

6. Typotheque — Well considered, beautifully crafted typefaces. Fedra Sans and Jigsaw are both in my personal type collection.

7. Jeremy TankardAspect is a typeface I have come back to time and time again, but I love all his typefaces.

8. Josh Darden StudioFreight is a big favorite of mine, I used on everything I did for about six months and I probably did the same with the equally impressive Omnes.

9. Feliciano Type Foundry — Flama is a really solid and useful font and this new Ultra Condensed version looks like something I need to buy.

10. You work for them — Black Sabbath is a font I think I need to buy, their fonts may not be as beautifully crafted as some of the other foundries listed here, but they have a few jems and i like what they do.
