The studio’s principle belief is in a deep understanding of the materials and technologies behind our work, from the software that builds a font to the paper on which it’s printed. Through intimately knowing the processes through which typefaces are made, we can produce work of better quality and functionality.
Founded in 2020 and led by British designer Rutherford Craze, we work with a number of collaborators worldwide. Our typefaces have been trusted by freelancers and global brands alike, and used for projects from book covers to international exhibitions.
The bulk of our practice is in producing original typefaces for our retail catalogue, which you can license directly for use in your own projects. We can also modify these or extend their language support to fit specific clients’ use cases.
Alongside our own font library, we work on all kinds of type-related projects, including wordmarks, logotypes, and entirely custom type families for larger brands.

We make various internal tools and software to help with the type design process. We’ve made some of the most useful ones available as web apps, which anyone can use for free.
This website is designed and built in-house, and is powered by Fontdue. It’s typeset in MD System, with the articles section also using MD Lórien.
