Curated Open-Source Web Fonts
Karl Lagerfeld said once in an interview, »… The internet is a wave, it will fade away like the walkman, which is just a historical piece nowadays…«
As an explorer of the digital universe, I see the world wide web as a human-to-human interaction, rather than just a one-sided human-to-computer relationship. Regardless of whether the internet is a fashion trend, as Lagerfeld says, or the most important discovery in humankind’s history, it is a truly fascinating and inspiring place. Today, web-technology is developing rapidly, but the opportunities to employ functional design and good typography are still lacking.
»open-foundry.com« is a type-foundry-like platform show-casing selected high-quality free web fonts in a beautiful and functional environment. The ›open‹ in open-foundry stands
for open-source, free and easily available. The word ›foundry‹ is an extraction of the term ›type foundry‹, that connotes the idea of professional quality and industrial heritage.
