The studio shelf
Tools for the page.
Room for your own voice.
A small directory for people making pages, choosing type and finding their next piece of design reading.
Five places to explore
Start with what you need.
You don’t need every tool. Choose for the work in front of you.
Make the page
Adobe InDesign
A page-layout application for books, magazines and coordinated print materials. Explore the tools for typography, multipage documents and production.
Compare the single-app plan with a wider subscription, and check the billing commitment before choosing.
Find a voice
MyFonts
Browse type families from different foundries. Try the words your project actually uses, then compare weights, spacing and character shapes.
Choose the license for your intended use: desktop, web and other applications can require different permissions.
Choose with care
Creative Market
A marketplace for fonts and creative assets. The font collection offers another place to look for a distinctive typographic direction.
Read the product license and file details. A purchased asset still needs to suit the project and its audience.
Keep learning
Domestika
Explore courses in calligraphy, lettering and typography. Look for a class whose project, teaching language and level match what you want to practice.
Check the checkout terms, especially whether an offer includes a trial or recurring subscription.
Build a reading shelf
Bookshop.org
A bookseller built around supporting independent bookstores. Search for books on typography, editorial design, art and visual culture.
Compare editions and formats before ordering. Availability and delivery depend on the title and destination.
