A place for letterforms
with a little life.
Grain & Glyph is an independent type foundry by Dan Coquyt, bringing handwritten and display fonts into one direct storefront.
we make.
Let the letters
do the talking.
A rounded slab serif. The uneven rhythm of a typewriter. The energy of a marker pulled across paper.
Each font has a different voice. This store gives you space to see it, type with it, and understand what belongs in the package.
A considered process.
From reference to release, in the order the work actually happens.
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.
Build
Letterforms become font files, with character mapping, spacing, and supported features. Family weights are developed and reviewed together.
Check
Character coverage, repeated letters, spacing, and rendered words are reviewed. Limitations such as caps-only coverage stay visible on the product page.
Package
Desktop and web files are separated by licence. Each release is versioned so the product page and delivered package can agree.
Start with something
you want to say.
Try your name, a shop sign, a headline, or a few words for a personal project. The type testers keep your words on the page.
