SelfBuild Type Foundry is a small independent type foundry based in York, England. We specialise in contemporary display typefaces and pixel typefaces that aim to find a better balance between function and style.
We released our first typefaces back in 1998 and since then our collection has steadily been growing with the addition of a range of pixel fonts designed for usage on websites and other screen applications. Our typefaces contain fully featured character sets and are available from MyFonts and direct from our website.
All of our pixel fonts contain high-quality vector outlines and are suitable for high-resolution print. They are also optimised for use in Flash.
Our standard licence covers use on up to five workstations. All of our typefaces are available as cross-platform OpenType fonts and have been tested on Adobe Creative Suite on both OS X and Windows XP, so there's no need to buy a second licence if you work on both platforms. We also offer other licence options should you need to install them on more than five workstations.
