Roadmap

What’s coming.

Everything Typetin is building, and where each part stands. Nothing here is open to foundries yet; an item is described as working only once a foundry can use it.

Status key

  • Building Code exists and is being tested
  • Planned Decided, not started

Your storefront

  • A storefront in seconds

    Building

    Sign up and your foundry has a working storefront on a Typetin subdomain, with no one from Typetin involved.

  • Your own domain

    Building

    Point your own domain at your storefront by adding one DNS record. You keep the domain and the DNS; TLS is automatic.

  • Live specimens

    Building

    Typeface pages show your fonts as live, editable type, generated from the files you upload.

  • Your look, not ours

    Building

    Colours, type and spacing are theme tokens you set, with custom CSS on top. Nothing on your storefront has to look like Typetin.

  • Drag-and-drop pages

    Building

    Build pages from type-specific blocks (testers, weight grids, glyph sets, licence pickers) with a live preview in your own theme and fonts.

Fonts in, webfonts out

  • Upload a family, get a catalogue

    Building

    Upload a release as it leaves your desk. Typetin reads the files, groups families and styles, maps variable instances and makes WOFF2 webfonts and subsets.

  • Trial fonts

    Building

    Trial versions of your fonts, generated from your own files.

  • Fingerprinted downloads

    Building

    Every order’s fonts carry a signed fingerprint that traces a file back to its licence.

  • Hosted webfonts, with usage

    Building

    Each web licence gets a hosted webfont kit that serves only the licensed domains and counts pageviews, so you can see usage against what was bought.

Licences

  • Licences that fit type

    Building

    Licence groups, tiers and multipliers for desktop, web, app and more, with presets you can edit.

  • Versioned EULAs

    Building

    Every order records which version of your EULA the buyer accepted.

  • Term licences and renewals

    Building

    Licences priced by term, with renewal orders and reminders sent before a term lapses.

  • Quotes that hold their price

    Building

    Send a quote whose prices are frozen when you issue it, so the buyer pays what you quoted even if your prices change.

Selling and getting paid

  • Your own Stripe account

    Building

    Connect your own Stripe account. Buyers pay you directly and Typetin takes 0% commission.

  • Checkout and tax

    Building

    Checkout on your storefront, with Stripe Tax calculated on your own account.

  • Discounts

    Building

    Discount codes and automatic discounts, priced by the server on every order.

  • Customer accounts

    Building

    Buyers get an account per foundry with order history and re-downloads. Download links last 90 days and can be re-issued any time.

  • Email from your domain

    Building

    Order and download emails sent from your own sending domain.

  • Royalty statements across designers

    Building

    Each designer’s share is recorded on every order line at the time of sale, with statements per designer, period and currency, and refunds reversed.

  • PayPal and merchant of record

    Building

    Take PayPal through your own PayPal account, or use a merchant-of-record provider if you would rather not file sales tax.

  • Multiple currencies

    Building

    Set explicit prices in each currency you sell in, with royalties and statements kept in the order’s currency.

  • Merchandise

    Planned

    Sell printed matter and objects alongside your fonts.

Ownership and leaving

  • One-click export

    Building

    Export your catalogue, font files, customers, orders, licences and royalty records in open formats, on every plan, including after you cancel.

Platform

  • 30-day trial, no card

    Building

    Try every part of your plan for 30 days without entering a card.

  • Public API

    Building

    Read your catalogue, orders, licences and customers from your own site or tools, with order webhooks, so a foundry with its own site can keep it.

  • Sales and traffic analytics

    Planned

    Sales and traffic reports in your Typetin admin.

  • Priority support

    Planned

    A priority support queue, and a service-level agreement on the Studio plan.

  • Your own deployment

    Planned

    Run your storefront on a dedicated deployment, with custom code blocks of your own.
