We’re here for every type designer. We don’t care where you studied or if ever. We’ll fix your fonts anyway. We’re here so you can enjoy your design process and be sure you’ll get quality fonts with us in the end.
We’re here for agencies who seek expertise in typography, typeface design or font development. Whether you require few quick edits for a pitch or an entirely new typeface, we've got you covered.
We’re here for students, helping them understand the complex world of type and typography. We do workshops for schools, universities or companies to help them choose great functional fonts, design a book or a magazine or start a brand new typeface.
We’re here because we love type world. We love the shapes, the functionality, the community. Can you imagine better evening than sitting with folks and discussing type? We love our work and we look forward to our office when we wake up.
We’re here for pioneers, for the indies, because we’re also one of them. We thrive on experimentation, constantly pushing technological boundaries, and crafting innovative scripts that have never been written before.
We do what we do, because we hate broken fonts. We hate poor rythm and bad kerning. We’ve got enough of font with shitty diacritics or ugly shapes. Let's make the world better with better fonts.

Accents are essential, but most fonts skip them or get them wrong. We can fix up your font's diacritics or even design new ones to make them stand out!

WE ARE
RENEGADEFONTS

Font foundry and engineering studio established in 2017. We're based in Prague, Czech Republic but operate on worldwide projects. We develop fonts that are on the edge of type design universum, trying to find challenging ideas and forge them into fonts. We are fueled with joy of creating new fonts, experiments and tools.

In his early 30s, he moved to Germany and worked for Monotype as a Font Engineer. Now back in Prague, he founded Renegadefonts studio, focusing on font engineering, programming (!) and the education of type design and typography for a broader audience. He also teaches Type theory and Graphic Design at a higher education school in Prague.
