Founded in 1994, Typofonderie is a French independent digital type foundry established by Jean-François Porchez, in France, designing, manufacturing and distributing a selection of high quality typefaces for adventurous digital typographers.
This foundry born unofficially circa 1994 under the name Porchez Typofonderie, launched his first retails typefaces in 1995. It’s the first sales who made the foundry official! The initial objective of the foundry was to propose the Jean Francois Porchez typefaces in a exclusive way without the help of retails-local distributors. The website under the URL porcheztypo.com was launched in middle of 1997 in same time as the launch of the big family Le Monde. In 1999, with the launch of the E-commerce with immediate downloads and secure payments, the domain name typofonderie.com started his life and remain the only domain name used today.
