Got an idea or some sketches for a font but don't want to deal with the hassle of creating it yourself? Maybe you've already thrown some cool glyphs into Illustrator, but the whole font software thing is a bit much? No stress! Forget about the font project technicalities – we're here to cook up desktop fonts, webfonts, or even some slick variable fonts just for you.
Got a font project collecting dust on the shelf for ages because life got in the way? Staring down a deadline for your font but running low on time or skills? No sweat, we've got your back. We're a crew of pro engineers, and we'd love to help you bring your font to life or even whip up a whole font family for you.
We're living in a place with a bunch of accents flying around. Latin diacritics aren't rocket science – making a tcaron or an ogonek? Piece of cake. But let's be real, most fonts out there are dropping the ball on these, if they bother at all. We can take a peek at your font's diacritics, fix them up, or even cook up a whole new design. Let's make those accents pop!
Metrics – a must in design. When you're deep into sketching the cool black bits of your font, those white spaces can sneak away. Having an extra set of eyes can catch the things you might've missed. And let's talk kerning, the time-consuming, mind-numbing part of wrapping up a font. We've got you covered with semi-automatic scripting – making it faster and a bit less snooze-worthy.
Is your project going global, expanding beyond Europe? Is there any need for Cyrillic alphabets? Does your client need a Greek extension? We‘re happy to help you with these if you need.
Oh, those webfonts – every client's craving, but let's be real, creating them is no cakewalk. Windows XP, 2000, 7, 8, 10, IE, Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari, v11.4.1, v63.2.6, v42.6... It's a bit of a mess, but hey, we've got tricks up our sleeves to make it work. If hinting's your thing, we can hook you up with the best autohinting or give it that personal touch with some manual hinting.
If you've been in the game for the past few years, this thing's probably been on your radar. If you were kicking it 20 years ago, you might've heard whispers about it too. Well, guess what? It's back, and this time it's playing nice with everybody. Variable fonts, the cool cats of typography, squeezing a whole font family into one neat file. Some browsers and Adobe CC apps are already vibing with them. We're here to get you all set for the next font revolution. Ready to ride the wave?
Got a special feature in your font but not up for all the manual labor? Scripting might just be your font's superhero. Share your pain, and we'll whip up a custom script to save the day.
And hey, if you're into type stuff, we roll out a bunch of workshops each year, whether it's in schools or rocking it in companies. Pitch us a topic, and we can drop a day-long workshop right in your office. We're all about these gigs, so hit us up and make some font magic happen!
