The League of Moveable Type is an ‘Open Source Type Movement’ that provide/showcase typefaces by anyone that wishes their work to be subject to the ‘Open Font License‘, which encourages designers and developers to share their typographic goodenss, whether that’s fonts or software.

Quote from The League of Moveable Type:

“We’re done with the tired old fontstacks of yesteryear. Enough with the limitations of the web, we won’t have it. It’s time to raise our standards. Here, you’ll find only the most well-made, free & open-source, @font-face ready fonts.”

No more bullshit. Join the revolution.

Quote from ‘OFL’:

We want to:

  • enable others to participate in our projects
  • enable others to cater to needs for which we don’t have the resources
  • share our wealth of knowledge and experience in the area of writing systems and pass on our tools
  • equip the community to meet its font needs

We serve the peoples of the world without regard to their material wealth, so we are grateful to those that do fund our work.
