Font Bureau was founded in 1989 by noted publications designer and consultant Roger Black and type designer David Berlow to serve the emerging needs of microcomputer-based magazine and newspaper publishers seeking unique typographic identities. During the past 21 years, Font Bureau has designed over 2,000 fonts for over 300 publications, many that have become part of Font Bureau’s Retail Library. The company remains small and privately held, with freelance and independent designers providing infusions of creativity. Full-time staff and designers direct the studio operations in Boston, which serves as the company’s headquarters.
