Els dissenyadors de tipus, a vegades anomenats tipògrafs, són els responsables de dissenyar tipografies o col·leccions de lletres tipogràfiques. Alguns dissenyadors de tipus treballen directament per a editorials si bé molts treballen de forma independent com a dissenyadors també d'altre tipus d'element de disseny gràfic o industrial. A continuació es mostra una llista parcial dels dissenyadors de tipus amb les seves principals creacions.
