Typotheque
A type company
- As part of the Zed 2.0 update, Zed now includes IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) characters commonly required for many First Nations orthographies. www.typotheque.com/blog/improvi...
- Four dimensional design space offers a lot of creative possibilities. See what you can do with the Zed variable space explorer. www.typotheque.com/blog/a-typef...
- It is difficult to illustrate the scale of the Zed type system, which has four variable axes and a separate optical version. So we asked Just van Rossum to create an interactive visualisation of the design space. www.typotheque.com/blog/a-typef...
- Zed, our most complex type system, just got better, and includes four new writing scripts: Armenian, Cyrillic, Georgian, Greek and Hebrew. www.typotheque.com/blog/zed-now...

- People perceive thickness of letters very individually, and that’s why we are conducting Font Weight Survey to understand the regional preferences of font weight. Could we ask you for 10 min of your time? The findings will be published publicly once we have some results. tptq.com/weight

- This printed type specimen, designed by Manera Estudi, presents the background and design thinking behind the Terrassa typeface. It features an in-depth essay by Manuel Sesma, as well as a prologue text by Nikola Djurek. www.typotheque.com/books/terras...
- Terrassa Display and Gradient both contain five variable axes. We considered providing traditional static fonts, but that would produce over 10,000 variations, which would overwhelm your font menu. Instead, we deliver Terrassa Display and Gradient as variable fonts. typotheque.com/fonts/terrassa
- Terrassa, the newest addition to our collection, now available on typotheque.com
- An evening to discuss architecture, geometry and typography, happening now in Barcelona. #typothequexcontraforma

- Designing dense Chinese characters presents a paradox: increasing the weight of the strokes can compromise legibility, yet insufficient weight fails to harmonise with the visual weight of Latin letters. Read more about creating very dark Chinese characters: www.typotheque.com/articles/chi...
- Chinese characters vary across East Asia due to regional language evolution and reform. Although it is possible to have a single CJK font, letterforms need to align with regional preferences. This article aims to explain the regional variants. www.typotheque.com/articles/und...
- Using CJK fonts is not simple, so we prepared an article on the typesetting principles of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) text www.typotheque.com/articles/typ...
- Designing multiple fonts systems, each with 40k characters is not simple. We wrote an article about the production process. www.typotheque.com/articles/des...
- After five years of development, we are pleased to present our East Asian type collection for Chinese, Japanese and Korean text. www.typotheque.com/blog/collect...
