The art of branding is now a multifaceted discipline. People want to see, hear, and even smell the brands they love, and they expect them to be more dynamic than ever. As companies navigate this huge multimedia landscape, type’s role continues to evolve. It’s something we’ve explored in the Sound & Vision theme in our 2025 Type Trends Report Re:Vision, which discusses how multimedia — in particular kinetic typography, soundscapes, and AI-driven design — is shaping our brand interactions. 

Monotype Imaging Inc. has collaborated with Audiosocket, a pioneer in music licensing and sound innovation, with an AI-mediated exploration of the intersections of sound and typography and the future of “poly sensory” brand experiences. Entitled Sound and Vision, the collaboration invites creatives to blend the worlds of type and music using Sonotype, an innovative new creative platform. This collaboration is the first in a series of planned activations by Monotype, exploring themes from their 2025 Type Trends Report Re:Vision with a variety of creative partners throughout the year.

Many brands have recently opted to ditch their logo in favor of instead highlighting typography in their campaigns. Why? Brands big and small are recognizing that fonts are not just a design element, but actually a defining aspect of their brand identities.
