After reading ilovetypography's latest post on Jeremy Mikel and his Router typeface I clicked on the foundry he released his through called "Village" run by Tracy Jenkins and Chester Jenkins. They house Underware and many others.
I've become to see type foundries in a similar light to record labels for musicians. Some musicians go to the big companies which have their own set of benefits whilst others choose the smaller ones or even release it themself. Some even set up their own label for releases and then gather others to make their own 'team'.
I'm not quite sure what I'd do with my own yet, but seeing all these little foundries and the people within them is a nice way to feel like something of a community.
