Specimen proofing
Every release is pulled as print proofs before it ships — stem weights judged on paper, not on a calibrated studio display.
Boutique type foundry · Latin & CJK
Your brand voice deserves letterforms nobody else can license.
We draw proprietary type families for enterprise identity systems — full Latin character sets, CJK extensions on matched skeletons, and the optical corrections that keep a wordmark honest from a 9pt legal footer to a 12-metre facade.

The invisible architecture of how brands speak
Selected specimen work from commissions under NDA, shown as proofs rather than case-study slideshows.
Exclusive licensing
Source UFO files, variable builds, and full IP assignment. The family never appears in another brand's system.
CJK skeletons
Stroke-weight parity between Hanzi radicals and Latin stems, verified at 12px screen rendering.
Deployment engineering
Web fonts subset per script, hinting for Windows GDI legacy stacks, and a typographic spec sheet your agencies actually follow.
Four disciplines, one production pipeline
Drawing, extension, correction, and spacing run as one continuous engineering process — not as handoffs between vendors.
Latin type families
Roman, italic, and variable axes drawn from scratch — from display grotesques to 8pt text cuts with sturdy overshoot and ink traps.
CJK extension
Hanzi, kana, and Hangul built on shared skeletons so stroke contrast, counter density, and vertical metrics match the Latin core.
Optical correction
Per-size optical sizing, overshoot balancing, and stem-weight compensation so the same family reads on packaging and on a 320px viewport.
Spacing & kerning
Sidebearing systems, class-based kerning, and diacritic collision passes proofed against real product copy, not lorem ipsum.
Kerning proofs, class by class
Diagonal-to-round pairs, figure alignment, and accent clearance are signed off individually before a build leaves the foundry.
Commissions open for Q3 drawing slots
A typical enterprise family runs 14–22 months from brief to variable release, including CJK extension. We take three commissions at a time.
