It was a gradual process and one that ultimately made sense. Monotype had previously purchased Linotype and Bitstream, two companies I worked for before founding The Font Bureau in 1989. Some of the typefaces I designed there are part of this acquisition, and others are from my time at The Font Bureau. Ultimately this presented itself as an excellent opportunity to gather many of the key typefaces of my career together and have them in the same place - the Monotype Library! Monotype understands the value of type and is a custodian of historic typefaces.
