Vision. We believe a font is a lot more than a few glyphs and letters. It’s both a creative asset that sits at the very heart of any brand identity and a technological asset that empowers consistent brand expression. In short, fonts add value to brands.

Our mission is to help brands make the most of their font assets by creating, developing and managing high quality fonts for a connected world. We believe in the power of identity fonts to stand out against the competition, in the value of global fonts to speak out consistently across borders and the importance of seamless fonts to work reliably.

Services. Over the years, we’ve developed a unique set of tools to help brands make the most of their font assets. Our services includes font design to help brands express their personality (across all languages) font engineering to ensure that the fonts developed work across all platforms and font consulting to train our clients, their teams and their suppliers on font management and advise on technical and licensing issues. We call this expertise Type+Tech®.
