Representative of Letterforms II


Font Bureau, INC.

Font Bureau, Inc. was founded by Roger Black, a publication designer, and David Berlow, a type designer, in 1989 . Berlow spent his early years developing hand drawn letters at the New York office of Linotype in 1978 and became interested in digital typography when he joined Boston-based Bitstream. While Berlow was adapting to the new technologies of Adobe's Postscript and Apple's TrueType, Black was also taking advantage of the Macintosh. Berlow had been a seasoned art director of magazines such as Rollingstone and Newsweek, and started his own business the same year Font Bureau was established. Today the Bureau puts out more than 1500 typefaces, including an extensive and well-rounded collection of typefaces and type families from traditional serifs and dingbats.
