With all the drama happening south of the border, my Canadian friends have been consciously trying to buy more Canadian products and I thought, maybe that should go for our typefaces too!?
I found it a bit difficult to find a up to date list (Type Atlas was the closest!), so I decided to gather a list here. I have done my best to include everyone but I’m definitely more aware of the West Coast type design scene, if I missed you, please reach out and I’ll add you!
