Design

Custom Typefaces

Your search for an exclusive interface between your business and markets is coming to a happy end. We can craft and engineer the custom typeface that meets your needs.

Logo design

From the first mood-board to refining the final outlines, curves and strokes, we can help shape your business identity.

Type branding

Your brand deserves a consistent design. We can help you refine and develop it with market research on the expressive qualities of type and lettering, advice on type purchasing or by bringing our design skills to bear on specific needs.

Script and language extension

Your business is going global. We can supplement your corporate typeface with an Arabic companion or maybe an Indian one. Tell us about your plans.

Typeface modification

Are you in love with one of the typefaces in our library? We can fine-tune its design for you and make it a perfect fit for your brand.

Letter spacing and kerning

Worried about the details of your design? Your concern is ours. We’ll improve spacing and kerning because a nice typeface with sloppy fitting always looks like a sloppy typeface.

Lettering for signs and inscriptions

Digital or carved in stone? We can design any kind of sign you have in mind… and some you may not have thought of.

Engineering

Quality assurance

Any type trouble? We can do a thorough check-up, ensuring that everything works in all formats and all possible OSs. After this treatment, your fonts will be like new.

OpenType features coding

Brilliant ideas should be made real: you know what you want and we know how to get it. We can develop custom OT features for particular aims; for our types and yours.

Scripting and automation

Have you ever thought of optimising your type workflow? We can share tailor-made digital tools so you can automate the most boring processes of typeface design. Time is money, isn’t it?

TrueType hinting for screen optimisation

The way a design looks on a monitor requires a fine touch. We can manually hint any type you want. We’ll ensure it renders perfectly, even on the worst and most obsolete computer.

Variable fonts and other formats

Do you need a typeface in every possible format? From OpenType variable fonts to EOTs, Woffs and .TTFs, we can provide it.

Training

Type branding

Training for creatives and for engineers

You never stop learning and we like teaching and innovating. We can organise training for agencies and freelancers, whether on the design or the production side of type.

Short courses and workshops

Are you experienced? We are! From the most advanced technologies to detailed analysis of historical type, and from writing practice to calligraphic experiments, we offer a wide range of unforgettable, full-immersion experiences.

Talks, conferences and research

Looking for great content and a scientific approach to the culture of type? Our perspective means we can see for miles and miles… Private negotiation only.
