Monotype Acquires Design By Front LTD

Good typography is essential for good web design

This is the fundamental philosophy behind Typecast, and a belief shared by Monotype

The past 125 years of publishing are covered in Monotype's fingerprints. From one of the first mechanical typesetters and our iconic typefaces to our imaging solutions for electronic devices, we have repeatedly combined design with technology to help the world communicate.

By welcoming the Typecast product to our family, we continue this tradition and embark on a new chapter of creativity and innovation – one that focuses on serving creative markets by making web fonts easier to use.

By including the Typecast application in our portfolio, we can now offer our customers one of the most useful and innovative web design tools available and support its growth to help it become the premier web typography solution.

Typecast will be in good company: Fonts.com, MyFonts.com & Skyfonts.com
