Surveys
Lend your voice. See a bigger picture.
FOR FOUNDRIES:
If you run or are part of a type foundry (big or small!), we invite to you be a part of our Foundry Surveys. We ask that you only answer the survey once as a representative of your foundry, and check back in often to be a part of the ongoing quest for a clearer picture of our community. Thank you for your participation!
FOR INDIVIDUALS:
Are a person who uses type? Perhaps you’re a graphic designer, art director, or even agency accounts manager; perhaps you’re a freelance creative in a field outside of design entirely; or, perhaps you’re a student, hobbyist, or just a curious fan of type. We welcome everyone who has a relationship with typography to be on the look out for our Surveys for Individuals. We break down these surveys into specific audiences, so if you identify with any of these surveys, please jump in and take part — we want to hear from you!
Type Buying
Coming Soon! We’re putting together the first survey for individuals, and its all about how you serch for, choose, and buy fonts. While we’re working on it, make sure you’re following us on twitter for news on when this survey will be released.
A Little More About Our Surveys:
Proof&Co is set up to seek and understand the landscape of modern independent typography. We believe the only way to do that is to actually talk to people, question the way things are in the industry, listen to foundry heads, accounts people, and individual designers alike, hear what people think, and discover new answers to long-standing questions. We’re committed to finding those answers to better inform our output, to better understand the ever-shifting landscape of typography, and to help support and foster this incredibly vibrant global community we love so much.
We publish a selection of each of our survey results to the public, but we usually try to stick to about 2 months after the survey goes live. We feature an expected results date under each survey thumbnail link so you’ll know when to start checking in for answers. We also publish a more in-depth report on the results to all participants. If you’re looking for insights and consulting beyond just the published results, we’re happy to strike up a conversation and get into it! Just email us with any specific requests.
