The League of Moveable Type

The story of open-source type, and why it's so important to us.

We are the founders of The League, the first open-source type foundry.

As designers on the web, we have a calling to raise the standards of the web-design world. We’re not the only ones who value good design, and it’s time for the web world to catch up with it.

We started The League, back in the beginning of 2009, as browsers were just getting the capability to use more than the 12 or so web-friendly fonts that everyone had installed on their computers.

As Google, Apple, and Mozilla finally pushed the code to enable custom @font-face rules in stylesheets on the web, we, designers ourselves, found that nearly no type foundries allowed using custom fonts on the web.
