From reference to release, in the order the work actually happens.
Step 1 of 4
Shape
Lettering references and whole-word studies establish the character of a design. The project uses an AI-assisted image-to-font workflow alongside font engineering.
Step 2 of 4
Build
Letterforms become font files, with character mapping, spacing, and supported features. Family weights are developed and reviewed together.
Step 3 of 4
Check
Character coverage, repeated letters, spacing, and rendered words are reviewed. Limitations such as caps-only coverage stay visible on the product page.
Step 4 of 4
Package
Desktop and web files are separated by licence. Each release is versioned so the product page and delivered package can agree.
A little help,
when you need it.
Installation, file formats, licences, and finding your downloads.
Installing on a Mac
Unzip the package. Double-click an OTF or TTF font and choose Install Font in Font Book. Restart the design app if the family does not appear. Install one format of a style at a time to avoid duplicate entries.
Installing on Windows
Unzip the package, right-click the OTF or TTF file, and choose Install. Restart the app you want to use it in. Your system may request administrator permission for an installation that applies to all users.
OTF, TTF or WOFF2. Which file do I need?
OTF and TTF are desktop font formats. WOFF2 is for self-hosting on a website using CSS and should not be installed as a desktop font. Your selected licence determines the delivered files.
GOOD TYPE.HUMAN TOUCH.
