Velvetyne Saved My Life, Libre Fonts for Everyone Since 2011

Since 2011, the Velvetyne collective has been dedicated to creating and distributing typefaces under open-source licenses. Its members advocate and promote an uninhibited typographic practice, guided by political principles and aesthetic risk-taking. This publication celebrates a generous collective creation – pioneering and recognised on the international scene – that continuously questions and reinvents itself. 'Velvetyne Saved My Life' reveals the distinctive workings of this unconventional structure within the contemporary type foundry landscape.
