Silly Type Foundry is an initiative of graphic designer Tariq Heijboer, which aims to share unusual typographic projects with a spontaneous and experimental character. Starting from Tariq’s own fascination for mistakes within systems of communication, language and alphabets, Silly Type Foundry collects and displays fonts of various makers related to this interest. The types demonstrate an interplay between image and type, the visual and verbal. Most projects at the Silly Type Foundry were initially designed for a specific (art) project and are now revisited and made accessible as a usable font. Silly Type Foundry just started but we continue to extend the font collection and are open for contributions and ideas.
