Lijst van letterontwerpers

A type designer is a person who designs typefaces. Some type designers are employed by type foundries, or operate them. Others work independently. A partial list of type designers follows by country, with a signature typeface or two for significant designers. Schools of type design sometimes developed in specific western nations, but type design generally has not been defined by nationality.
