About The Foundry

Alanna Munro Type Foundry is a small, independent type foundry located in Vancouver, Canada.

My letterforms have been described as having ‘happy curves,’ which means that no matter the style, a friendly disposition is always infused into the vector drawings. But don’t mistake friendliness for frivolity; I am also a huge nerd and my fonts are always executed with the highest technical care. This ultimately results in typefaces and lettering with warm curves and technical precision, which is a win-win for your design projects!

But having a type foundry is more than just drawing letterforms. I also aim to have fair and easy to understand licensing, I frequently update and improve my existing font families, and I share my knowledge with the community. Feel free to swing by one of my type design live-streams on Twitch where you’ll see me answer all kinds of audience questions from “what is a double storey a?” to “why is sock-sorting the worst part of doing laundry?”

I would like to take a moment to acknowledge that the land on which I live and work is the unceded traditional territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations and I am grateful to be able to make typefaces in such a beautiful place.
