Colophon Foundry was an independent UK type studio; as of a 2025 transition, its catalog now lives inside Monotype rather than on its own storefront.
The design work itself - retail and custom typefaces built by the original Colophon team - is what you're paying for, now distributed through Monotype's infrastructure.
Relevant if you're specifically after a Colophon-designed typeface and don't mind buying it through MyFonts or a Monotype Fonts subscription.
Fonts are sold individually via MyFonts or bundled into a Monotype Fonts subscription (which offers a free trial); there's no free tier and no purchasing directly on the original colophon-foundry.org site anymore.
