We design Chinese, Japanese and Korean companion typefaces for existing Latin brand typefaces, as well as complete custom families and logotypes. Each project is planned around its character set, regional forms, styles and applications.
Our work also covers Thai, Arabic and Latin. For script coverage, review arrangements and selected commissions, explore the studio’s type design services.

/ Understanding your brand story
Tell us the story behind your brand so we can understand what you need and whether we are the right fit. Through discussion, we establish the brand’s purpose, typographic requirements and intended applications, then agree on the project’s objectives.
/ A proposal tailored to your project
Once we understand the brief, we set out a project proposal covering the quotation, deposit, schedule and contract. This gives both sides a shared basis for the work ahead.
/ Finding what makes your brand distinct
We discuss the project in detail and study relevant brands and competitors. This research helps us understand the context, identify useful distinctions and develop a direction grounded in your brand.
/ Drawing a typographic voice of your own
With the brief and positioning agreed, we develop the letterforms. We consider how their character will carry across different sizes, media, uses and cultural contexts, so the design works with the practical requirements of the project.
/ Coordinating the applications
After the design is approved, we work with the relevant production teams and suppliers, checking how it is applied in print and digital media and confirming the quality of the outputs.
/ Documenting and handing over the work
Once the design and applications are confirmed, we deliver the agreed files and usage guidelines, explaining the treatment of letterforms, spacing and layout so your team can continue using them consistently. Deliverables, licensing and payment arrangements are defined in the project quotation and contract.
