 Font collection milestone at Monotype Imaging : For the first time, more than 100,000 font products are available from Monotype Imaging’s e-commerce storefront. The abundant selection features a variety of products from single fonts to bundled packages in standard PostScript, TrueType and OpenType formats for Macintosh and Windows platforms. “Four years ago, we set out to expand the inventory” said Allan Haley, director of words and letters at Monotype Imaging. “In a relatively short period, we’ve more than quadrupled the number of products offered. From the timeless classics of established type foundries to promising new releases from independent designers around the world, our selection is truly unrivaled.
