Typophile is an internet forum hosted at www.Typophile.com dedicated to the discussion of type, typefaces, fonts and typography and the associated software, tools and design practices of people who work with type. The forum was created by Jared Benson in 2000 and is operated by San Francisco design studio, Punchcut, a firm Benson co-founded in 2002.
