The Lost Type Co-Op is a Pay-What-You-Want Type foundry, founded by Riley Cran and Tyler Galpin.
What originally was meant to be a 24-hour adventure to distribute a single typeface, has blossomed into a full-fledged foundry, distributing fonts from designers all over the world. Users have the opportunity to pay whatever they like for a font, you can even type in ‘$0’ for a free download.
This is an awesome idea! I love all thongs fonts and typography and really appreciate the opensource approach and generous free downloads…will definitely check this out!

Thanks for the support, everyone! The response has been overwhelming.
@M: I would email you directly, but you failed to link to any existence of yourself on the internet. Would love to hear you expand on that “type online” point.

There are some really good fonts, but there is something about the site design that bothers me a little…anyway, keep up the good work!
