Introduction
Typeweave is a modern font distribution platform designed for professional designers, developers, and creative teams. We provide premium typography infrastructure with both free and commercial fonts from independent type foundries.
Built with modern web standards, Typeweave delivers fonts as NPM packages for self-hosting or through our global CDN. We're currently in early access with a curated collection of open-source fonts, with commercial foundry partnerships launching soon.
What Makes Typeweave Different
- •Modern Infrastructure: NPM packages and CDN delivery built for today's development workflows
- •Variable Fonts First: All weights (100-900) in a single optimized WOFF2 file
- •Curated Quality: Professionally optimized fonts from trusted foundries, not a font dump
- •Flexible Licensing: Free open-source fonts now, with premium commercial fonts coming soon
- •Framework Native: First-class support for Next.js, React, Vite, and Tailwind CSS
Early Access: We're currently offering professionally optimized open-source fonts while building partnerships with independent type foundries. Commercial font licenses will be available soon.
Advantages
1. Performance
Self-hosting fonts can significantly improve website performance by eliminating the extra latency caused by additional DNS resolution and TCP connection establishment that is required when using a CDN like Google Fonts. This can help to prevent doubled visual load times for simple websites.
2. Version Locking
Fonts remain version locked. Google often pushes updates to their fonts without notice, which may interfere with your live production projects. Manage your fonts like any other NPM dependency.
3. Privacy
Commit to privacy. Google does track the usage of their fonts and for those who are extremely privacy concerned, self-hosting is an alternative. Typeweave fonts are completely self-hosted - no tracking, no external requests, fully GDPR compliant.
4. Offline
Your fonts load offline. This feature is beneficial for Progressive Web Apps and situations where you have limited or no access to the internet.
5. Modern Format
All Typeweave fonts use modern WOFF2 format with variable font technology when available. Get all font weights (100-900) in a single optimized file for maximum efficiency.
6. Easy Integration
Works seamlessly with modern bundlers like Vite, Webpack, and frameworks like Next.js, React, Vue, and Svelte. Import fonts just like any other NPM package.
