Technical assistance and solutions for complex types.
Let us be your go-to type nerds.
Making Fonts these days you can do some pretty advanced things: variable functionality involving multiple masters, custom code for display purposes or for proper language support, large families that need subsetting. It can all feel a bit daunting. We’re here to tame the complexity and help deliver clean, reliable fonts that just work — for any use, and any user.
If type design is architecture, font engineering is structural engineering. We understand how font files and typesetting systems work, what kind of data they expect, and how to make everything play nicely together.
Modern type design tools are pretty great, and for small projects, you might not need any engineering at all. But the bigger or more complex a family gets, the more useful a second, technical eye becomes.
Beyond solving font problems, we can also help speed up your workflow — building tools, writing scripts, and automating the repetitive stuff.
