Global branding

Depending on how you currently manage your fonts, paying for a Monotype Fonts subscription can be an upfront investment that provides a substantial return. But as with anything that requires a yearly fee, it’s natural to wonder whether spending money on a font management tool makes financial sense to your creative team.

It’s more important than ever to bring a sense of humanity and authenticity to your messaging. And if your type is the voice of your brand, then it’s doubly important to make sure it’s saying the right things. 

Collaboration above all: How Monotype Fonts makes it easy for agencies.

Picture it: Your agency is the talk of the town. You’ve acquired multiple clients, with new ones ready to sign on soon. Exciting opportunities are on the horizon. Account managers are thrilled. Leadership is thrilled. The creative team is also thrilled… but will onboarding a new client be the last, stress-inducing straw for your design team?

When you’re a designer, it’s thrilling to create a new brand or update an existing one. You get to be creative! Strategic! You get a chance to make your mark!

In addition to deciding on a color palette and imagery style, you get to choose foundational typefaces for your brand. But font selection should not be based on looks alone.

We know firsthand that choosing the right fonts matters—font performance is crucial to delivering a positive customer experience, extending their connection to your brand.
