FONT CREATION
Got font ideas or sketches in Illustrator but don’t want to handle the technical side? Whether it’s desktop fonts, webfonts, or variable fonts, we’ve got you covered. We know every step in the creation process and precise technial setup to provide you with latest technology fonts.
FONT MASTERING
Is your font project collecting dust or facing a tight deadline? Let’s make your unfinished designs to production-ready font files and get them to your clients! We specialize in on technically demanding, unfinished, or problematic fonts that require precision and experience to bring to production quality.
ACCENTS CHECK/BUILD
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 use years of expertise and technical skills to provide you with correct accent solutions, easy to use and work with.
METRICS / KERNING
When it comes to metrics and kerning, we handle it all. From fine-tuning the white spaces to speeding up kerning with semi-automatic scripting. We fix your spacing and kerning to deliver consistent rythm in every case.
CYRILLIC & GREEK
Is your project going global, expanding beyond Europe? Is there any need for Cyrillic alphabets? Does your client need a Greek charset? We will extend your fonts into many languages and scripts using years of experience in the field.
WEBFONTS/ HINTING
Webfonts are often in demand, but creating them is no cakewalk. Luckily, we’ve got the skills to help, from solid autohinting to a precise manual hinting touch. We build mastered subset for your pages or custom solution for your servers.
VARIABLE FONTS
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 can create complex and fine-tuned variable fonts for your project needs.
SCRIPTING
Got a font with a tricky feature? Let us script it and save you the hassle. We write python scripts and custom tools for type designer, to get your fonts done faster and more precise than ever. We solve complex font engineering problems others can’t.
