Semi-Custom Fonts

A good fit when an existing typeface is close to what you need, but requires specific changes.

Let's Talk about it

A semi-custom font starts with an existing typeface and adapts it to your specific needs. It is a more cost-effective option when you need something more distinctive than an off-the-shelf font, without designing a typeface from scratch.

What you get

Modified typeface

An existing typeface adapted to your requirements, with selected characters, details or other elements modified to create a more individual result.

Custom characters

New or modified letters, numbers, symbols or alternate characters, depending on what your communication requires.

Custom font features

Additional styles or font variations can be developed from the existing typeface when needed.

Font files

Ready-to-use font files prepared for the agreed applications and platforms. We also cover technical support if needed.

Usage rights

The agreement defines the terms of use and can be set for a fixed period or on a perpetual basis.

Why choose a semi-custom font?
Make an existing typeface your own
Modify selected elements to give your typography a more individual character.
Match your brand more closely
Adapt the typeface to your visual identity and communication needs.
Create distinctive details
Custom characters and alternates can make your typography more recognisable.
Save time and budget
Working from an existing typeface avoids the time and cost of developing a complete font from scratch.
Keep a proven foundation
The project builds on an existing typeface rather than starting with an entirely new design.
Keep what already works
Instead of replacing the entire typeface, we focus on the parts that do not yet meet your needs.
Solve specific gaps
Characters, styles or other features can be added or modified where the existing font falls short.
Keep the scope proportionate
You invest in the changes the brand actually needs rather than developing a complete typeface from scratch.
The process
How long it takes

From 2 weeks, depending on the scope and complexity of the modifications.
