TypoBrand works with you to develop creative and affordable typographic solutions.


TypoBrand stresses the importance of a whole-project approach. While design considerations are often the primary focus, design is just one of many important factors that affect cost and brand implementation. How type is selected or developed, licensed and distributed should be considered in tandem with design issues to best understand all options available, determine realistic budgets, and make informed decisions. To assure a streamlined implementation, TypoBrand will assist you in resolving various issues, including:

   Design decisions. Will a new typeface design be developed? Will an existing typeface be modified or re-interpreted? Will existing typefaces be specified?

   Production. What formats are needed for different operating systems? Is cross-platform compatibility required? Will special 'hinting' be needed for optimum on-screen quality? What languages need support in order for the face to be specified for the brand?

   Rights and related costs. Will a custom typeface be proprietary? Or will it be needed exclusively for a period of time? Is a non-exclusive solution acceptable?

   Licensing. Fonts are intellectual property like other software. When fonts are being licensed for branding, establishing or at leastanticipating how widely a font family will be used opens the door to structured licensing. Compared to uncoordinated font purchasing, structured licensing can save you or your client a considerable amount.

   Distribution. How do you assure that only the right font(s) get used as part of implementation? What are the best ways to license and deliver the fonts to various users at various locations or within various companies? And if the typeface is proprietary or exclusive, how can you be sure the fonts are distributed only to authorized users?

There are myriad solutions to these questions and others. TypoBrand will research and present detailed options that are tailored to your needs. TypoBrand can define a clear strategy to achieve your objectives, make the most efficient use of your budget, and streamline implementation.
