notyourtypefoundry (nytf) is a very small, independent type foundry based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. It began in 2021 as Xiaoyuan Gao’s playground for experimental type design projects, and has gradually evolved into a practice for sharing different ways of making—and thinking about—type and typing design.

Publication Proposals
Sometimes, with a bit of spare time and energy, notyourtypefoundry offers a platform for publishing and technical support for fun typefaces made by BIPOC and FLINTA designers. If you believe your work would be a good fit, then send Xiaoyuan an email, maybe we can discuss it further. (Please note we can't reply to every proposal.)

(We will not reply to any form of unsolicited services. Thank you!)
While offering trial fonts is common practice among type foundries of all sizes, our experience over two years showed that this policy created more challenges than benefits for our small operation. As of 2024, we have discontinued offering trial fonts.
We appreciate your understanding and are unable to accommodate trial font requests.
