About Typography Standard
Typography Standard evaluates font files against published pass/fail criteria for brand, product, and web deployment.
Independent standard
Certificate fees fund registry hosting, audit infrastructure, and standard maintenance.
Governance
Typography Standard publishes measurable scores, verifiable certificates, and audit reports for professional font use.
What we do
Typography Standard is the compliance framework for professional font use. Design, engineering, legal, and procurement teams share one published set of pass/fail criteria. Font files are evaluated against 31 measurable checks. Certification is earned through testing, not affiliation or opinion.
How it works
The standard is public. Criteria, weights, and pass thresholds are documented in Typography Standard 2.0. Scoring runs against submitted font binaries. Results are verifiable through certificate IDs and public report URLs.
Who uses it
Brand teams validating fonts before rollout. Foundries documenting compliance for clients. Procurement teams writing enforceable typography requirements. Legal and compliance teams documenting font use in contracts and filings.
