Font customization
Sometimes, even if you like the overall look of a font, it may not suit your project well enough. TypeType has a solution for that—font customization.
Any font from the TypeType collection can be personalized and made suitable for your specific project. We can implement both minor and more extensive improvements to a font. To learn more, read about our customization options.

Light customization
Choose the Light customization option if you want to use a TypeType font for your project with only minor adjustments. We will modify individual letterforms and substitute the base characters with alternates. In addition, we will add your logo to the character set of the chosen typeface and rename the font to match your company’s name.
Standard customization
If you want to use a font from our collection but need additional font styles, choose the Standard customization option. We will modify individual characters and add new font styles to match your goals. The customized font will be renamed: its new name will be associated with your company or project. Besides, we will implement your logo into the font’s character set.
Deep customization
Deep customization involves us virtually designing a new font with several font styles, using a TypeType font of your choice as the foundation. At the same time, the graphics of individual characters will be transformed entirely. The font will get a new name associated with your company or project, and we will also implement your logo into the character set.
Designing a font from scratch
Custom typefaces are a signature feature of large brands. We create personalized commercial typefaces for companies, keeping in mind the unique characteristics of their projects.
We can design a single typeface or an entire font family. For instance, companies often require the development of at least two fonts: a display font for headings and printed media and a text font for the website and apps.
A custom font undergoes the stages of research, sketches, approval, and then detailed development of its graphic and technical components.

We are ready to help you with both complex mastering as well as with the solution of individual visual or technical problems. TypeType mastering can be divided into several main blocks: visual mastering, technical mastering, kerning and font hinting.

See moreFont hinting (also known as instructing) is the use of mathematical instructions to adjust the display of an outline font so that it lines up with a rasterized grid.
At low screen resolutions, hinting is critical for producing clear, legible text. It can be accompanied by antialiasing and (on liquid crystal displays) subpixel rendering for further clarity.
