@dobody@mastodon.design maybe @kupfers@mastodon.social have an idea. But in France, I remember there was a very little typefaces trade. But I didn’t find my sources

@QuentinJuhel@post.lurk.org @dobody@mastodon.design Hello! The situation changed a lot throughout the centuries. In the beginning (renais.), the printers were also the type founders. Later special companies for foundry type formed that offered type to printers independent from presses/machines. Either fully developing their own designs or just casting designs after trading matrices. Then even later typesetting machine manufacturers (Linotype, Monotype, Intertype etc) joined the scene and sold type as addons to their machines
