Nice work @markjohnsoncc it was fun to work on this with you. Who do you think would enjoy this stuff the most? Type nerds? Product designers?

@thomasdrach Likewise bud! I'd guess type nerds, product designers, graphic designers, people who like clicking links, and anyone who is interested in typography, but is a bit intimidated by entering a type marketplace.

I think one feature you can add is "Top Typefaces", which maybe you or whoever suggested the foundry can handpick. I found myself clicking the links multiple times to see some of the typefaces they offer.

@aahlfeeyann thank for the feedback! Do you think you'd want that to change over time? What defines top?

@markjohnsoncc I think what defines top are the typeface(s) that have been seen regularly used across the web. For example, for Lineto it could be Circular/Akkurat. Just my thoughts!
