Village
While scouring the depths of Twitter for some typography people I came across http://vllg.com
Village is a union of ten fresh type foundries that have decided to band together to help each other survive in the fierce world of font distribution.
We are based in New York City, but are a global group, with members from Canada, China, Finland, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States.
What I find especially pleasing is the fact they have restrained themselves from growing any bigger than what they wanted, by keeping their members small Village have guaranteed the quality of work will be maintained. Compared to other foundry behemoths such as MyFonts, Village stands strong as something unique and inspiring.
Ironically if many fonts that get watered down by being available on MyFont or Dafont where to be available on a site such as Village, maybe they would be have a better reputation in the design community.
Immediately I noticed two of my favorite new typefaces, Fakir and Bello from Underware.
