Not Just Another Font Marketplace: Why Foundries Choose Font Bros

October 14, 2026

There are plenty of places to sell fonts online. But not every font marketplace offers the same kind of partnership, and for independent type designers, that difference matters.

At Font Bros, we've been helping independent font foundries sell their typefaces since 2006. We believe designers should spend more time creating great fonts and less time navigating complicated licensing requests, customer support, and the business of selling them.

Here's what makes us different from the other guys.

65% Royalties. Now and Forever.

We believe the people who create fonts should receive the lion's share of the revenue.

That's why Font Bros pays our foundry partners 65% royalties on every sale, including custom and OEM licensing agreements. We've maintained that rate since 2006 and made a permanent commitment to keep it.

No introductory rates. No arbitrary royalty reductions. Just a straightforward partnership that rewards the people doing the creative work.

We Do More Than Sell Desktop Fonts

A $39 font purchase is great, but what happens when a major brand wants to use that same font across millions of products, in advertising campaigns, or within software?

That's where our experience really counts.

Font Bros specializes in negotiating commercial, enterprise, and OEM font licenses. We handle the inquiries, pricing, negotiations, agreements, and licensing details that can turn an ordinary font into a much more valuable commercial opportunity.

And our foundry partners receive the same 65% royalty on those deals.

Your Fonts. Your Independence.

Working with Font Bros doesn't mean giving up control of your business.

Our distribution agreements are non-exclusive, meaning you're free to sell your fonts through your own website and other distributors.

We also offer something many marketplaces don't: a free, branded foundry website, powered by Font Bros, that automatically stays synchronized with your font catalog.

You get your own online presence without the expense and maintenance of building and operating a separate e-commerce platform.

Real People, Real Partnerships

We're not a faceless marketplace where foundries are just another account number.

Font Bros is independently owned and operated by two people who genuinely understand the font business. When questions arise about sales, licensing, technical issues, or unusual customer requests, you can speak directly with us.

We also provide transparent sales reporting, hands-on onboarding, and a curated marketplace where original, professional-quality typefaces are valued.

The Bottom Line

We're not interested in becoming the biggest font marketplace at the expense of the designers we represent.

We want to be the best distribution partner for independent foundries who care about their work, their customers, and the long-term value of their typefaces.

If you're creating original fonts and looking for a distributor that offers fair royalties, specialized licensing expertise, and genuine personal service, we'd love to hear from you.
