Words of Type Encyclopedia is a project that requires extensive financial funding to cover its development and maintenance costs (from text copywriting, translations, proofreading, to illustrations, and website development).

Multiple sources of support have been created to help as sustainable support systems for Words of Type.

Type foundries, sponsors of the Encyclopedia

Words of Type Encyclopedia has words with illustrations using letters, glyphs, words, etc., therefore, typefaces (obviously!).

Type foundries, big and small, are invited to adopt a large selection of our words. Once the adopted words selected, the sponsors can have their typefaces used in their illustrations, along with the typeface‘s details in the caption. Sponsors also automatically become Words of Type members of the community too!
