What it does
Type Supply publishes Tal Leming’s typefaces, including Balto, Marigny, Ohm, Queue and Smoosh. The studio also creates custom fonts and lettering for clients.
Queue has a monospaced appearance, while Queue Mono gives characters uniform widths. That difference matters when technical columns must align, rather than merely look mechanical. The broader catalog explores American Gothic forms in Balto, handwriting in Marigny, neon lettering in Ohm and compressed contrast in Smoosh.
Queue Mono is an R&D release: its roman styles are finished, but italics have no promised completion date. R&D licences include future updates at no additional cost if they are released. The current Queue Mono and Balto pages direct licensing enquiries to Tal because those typefaces are unavailable through the shop. Their Trial Fonts forms request contact details; confirm the production package through that direct conversation.
Previous customers whose login no longer works should also contact the studio, since its Questions page says the old account database has not yet been migrated. Desktop, web and mobile-app agreements are separate. The webfont licence is perpetual, with an upgrade required after exceeding the purchased pageview tier for three consecutive months.
