Custom work
Custom fonts
We’ve been offering custom fonts and letterings as part of our branding services for years now. Most companies can benefit from having fonts specifically designed or modified to help their marketing or technical needs.
Although, designing a complete font family can be a huge undertaking, often even a smaller custom font solution can be of great value.

process
After you've got in touch about a project, we organise a meeting to find out all possible aspects and scope of the work.
Shortly after the meeting, we send you an offer and if you find it acceptable, we can move to the next phase. The next step is the 'Research Phase', where we offer possible directions, solutions for the project as a draft.
After we agreed on the appropriate direction we can start the 'Development Phase', where the real type design and font engineering work begins.
During this phase, we provide updates and test fonts at predetermined intervals.
At the end of the project we deliver the fonts in all requested formats. We aim to make sure that all our fonts are developed and engineered to meet official Microsoft, Google and Adobe standards.

The price is based on a number of actors such as: the number of styles to develop, masters needed, languages covered, exclusivity, company size, available development time, extra typographic features, special technical requirements.

Our Pricing model
Company size
To make our licencing process as simple as possible we implemented a company size based pricing model.
Licenses are priced by the total number of employees, not the number of people using the fonts. Please make sure the number covers everyone at the licensee’s company. If your company has more than a 200 employees, please get in touch.
