What is a .type file?
A .type file is an IntelliFont Font File. This is a font file — a typeface your system can install and use.
How to open a .type file
- Double-click it on Windows or Mac to preview and install.
- FontForge (free) opens and inspects unusual font formats.
The registry records this extension against IntelliFont Font File, so software from that family is the most likely match.
How to convert a .type file
- FontForge or an online converter turns older fonts into .ttf, .otf or .woff2.
The technical record
