We are your partner in type.
Every day, you build connections with your customers, often from the moment they start their day.
You communicate in person, in print, and in an always-evolving world of devices and technologies. You share your perspective and personality through your brand story, your products, and social media – often transcending borders, languages, and cultures to reach people around the globe.
Type plays an integral role in bringing these moments to life for every one of your customers. We help you express your vision using type that conveys all the emotion, clarity, and consideration you want to share with the world. With Monotype’s expansive library of iconic typefaces and a partnership network comprised of thousands of independent type designers, you’ll find something for every audience, mood, language, and season.
Plus, our comprehensive, AI-assisted font management platform simplifies the discovery, sharing, licensing, and management of all your font software. And if you need hands-on expertise, our Studio can offer guidance and create bespoke typefaces that reflect and elevate your identity and carry your story.
Confidently making your vision a reality is imperative. With our experience, expertise, and innovative outlook, we can guide you to a strategy that works for your teams, your goals, and your future. We simplify every aspect of working with type: discovering new designs, managing your internal font library, integrating type into innovative devices and tech, solving intricate licensing scenarios, and expanding into markets across the globe.
You have a vision, and we’re here to help you turn it into reality. How can we help you today?
Monotype: A legacy of type, a future of innovation.
Monotype Imaging Inc. was founded in 1999, building on a typographic legacy that dates back to 1887. While the Monotype of today is distinct from the original American and British Monotype manufacturers of typesetting machines, we are proud to carry forward the spirit, influence, and many typefaces of that era.
Over the decades, we’ve evolved through revolutions in printing, publishing, and digital design to become a trusted partner for creatives and brands around the world, providing fonts and font management solutions for a global marketplace.
Our legacy is visible in many of the world’s most iconic typefaces — Helvetica®, Avenir®, Gotham® — and in the technologies that have shaped how type is made, used, and shared. As screens became the primary canvas for communication, Monotype played a leading role in optimizing fonts for digital environments and enabling global access to type software.
From our beginnings as Monotype Imaging, we’ve expanded by collaborating with world-class foundries and visionary designers, building a global team that helps brands express themselves with clarity, creativity, and craft.
Today, we work with companies including Canva, Adobe, Netflix Inc., Nintendo Co., Ltd., Hyundai Motors, Danone, Christian Dior Couture, and Kraft Heinz Food Company. Our foundry partners include Fontfabric, Latinotype, Cadson Demak, TypeTogether, PlayType, The Northern Block, Zetafonts, and TypeType.
Over the last two decades, Monotype has strategically acquired some of the most influential type foundries and platforms in the industry, including Linotype, Hoefler & Co., FontShop, Fontsmith, URW, Ascender, Bitstream (including MyFonts), ITC, Berthold, Fontworks, Colophon Foundry, Extensis, and most recently, Design210. Additionally, we have acquired libraries from Font Bureau and Sharp Type. Each acquisition has not only expanded our library but also enhanced our global presence and our ability to serve the needs of our creative and brand customers.
Looking ahead, we are focused on the next era of type — one shaped by creativity, intelligence, and collaboration. We’re exploring how artificial intelligence can empower designers and brands to create and personalize type in entirely new ways, while preserving the integrity and originality of the craft. From dynamic, variable fonts to AI-assisted type development, Monotype is building the tools that will define how we create, express, and connect in the future.
Our journey may have started more than a century ago — but the most exciting chapters are yet to come.
