Typotheque is a type foundry and design studio from The Hague, Netherlands that develops and markets original typefaces for the Macintosh and Windows platforms.

The typefaces sold under the Typotheque foundry label are designed by Slovakia's Peter Biľak, including the popular Fedra Sans and Fedra Serif font families, and Jigsaw designed by Johanna Biľak.

Typotheque specializes in creation of Latin and non-Latin fonts (Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic), occasionally advertises in national design journals like Print, and How, and publishes books, such as We Want You To Love Type or bi-annual independent art/design publication Dot Dot Dot.

A type foundry is a company that designs or distributes typefaces.

Before desktop publishing, type foundries manufactured and sold metal and wood typefaces and matrices for line-casting machines like the Linotype and Monotype machines designed to be used with letterpress printers.

Today's digital type foundries accumulate and distribute typefaces (typically as digitized fonts) created by type designers, who may either be freelancers operating their own independent foundry, or employed by another foundry.

Type foundries may also provide custom type design services.

In metal typesetting, a font is a particular of a typeface.

Each font was a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consisting of a range of fonts that shared an overall design.

Language is the ability to acquire and use complex systems of communication, particularly the human ability to do so, and a language is any specific example of such a system.

The scientific study of language is called linguistics.

Questions concerning the philosophy of language, such as whether words can represent experience, have been debated since Gorgias and Plato in Ancient Greece.

Thinkers such as Rousseau have argued that language originated from emotions while others like Kant have held that it originated from rational and logical thought.

20th-century philosophers such as Wittgenstein argued that philosophy is really the study of language.

Major figures in linguistics include Ferdinand de Saussure and Noam Chomsky.
