After years of thinking about it, and a bit of time working on it, I'm super excited to announce a new version of https://type.lol/ 🔤

Now you can follow foundries, designers, and friends—collect typefaces, and explore them in entirely new ways. (Carousel, Grid, List, Graph, Globe)

Type.lol has evolved from a simple list into a full-on collection tool that bridges the gap between type exploration, discovery, and purchase—connecting foundries and designers more directly than ever.

My hope is that this helps build a new kind of marketplace where type designers earn more from their work, and designers can more easily find the perfect typefaces for their projects.

I can’t wait for you to try it out and let me know what you think!

@mark Thank you very much. This is a huge addition.
I don’t even have the words in English to say how amazing it is. 🙏

Do you think it would be possible to add a direct link to Fonts In Use?

They use a redirect system, for example:
https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/gt-flexa
which automatically redirects to:
https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/112750/gt-flexa

GT Flexa in use

Comes in seven widths from X Compressed to X Expanded, plus a monospaced variant, each in seven weights from Lazer to Black, in roman and italic styles.

@crcstudio Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

That's a great idea! I’m sure it is possible, I'll probably just need to re-enrich our typeface data to add that kind of thing and give some controls as well.

I'll add that to my roadmap and see if I can ship something tonight or sometime this week otherwise!
