Type Tools

Alphabet Type helps designers and foundries get the very best out of their fonts. Not only do we use our font-engineering expertise and custom services to support designers as they ready their first font for release—we also assist in ongoing foundry production and execute large-scale corporate projects. Making type tends to involve stressful, repetitive tasks. Our tools provide the integral building blocks needed to tame those tasks and make them straightforward. We are a team of type designers, graphic designers, and programmers, and we are open to any and all font-related questions and ideas. Contact us!
