The missing WordPress plugin for type foundries

Typolog is a WordPress plugin that has three jobs:

  • Create a data structure for a type foundry catalog (font families & font styles)
  • Accomodate font files and sort them by their type (otf, ttf, web fonts)
  • Create font bundles and downloadable WooCommerce products from the catalog

It also has some extra features which were built specifically for Fontef, the website this plugin was built for:

  • An automagical catalog generator that tries to parse font files (using opentype.js) using their information
  • Adjust font sizes to fit them together nicely on display
  • Create "display names" for type families (for non-Latin foundries)
  • Batch edit prices of entire catalog
  • Order font families by collection and mark families as non-commercial
  • Define "main font" for family display purposes and re-order font styles
  • Add attachments to ZIP files, such as license files and specimen PDFs
  • Create external links for fonts that are sold elsewhere

This plugin is still under development!

Please note that while this version of the plugin is functional (and in use at Fontef), this plugin is not an out-of-the-box solution for non-programmers, and should be used with caution. Please feel free to fork this project and develop it further!
