Custom retail typefaces

Custom font development

Drawing is only half of it. A font that ships needs spacing and kerning across every pair, OpenType features that behave in Word and in a browser, hinting that survives small sizes, and a glyph set that covers the languages you actually publish in.

What you receive

The handover

Finished files

Production-ready output in the format your printer, platform or workshop actually needs — press PDF, editable source, CAD file, font binary or deck, as the work requires.

Editable sources

The working files, not just the export, so your team can change the work later without coming back to us.

Full rights

Copyright transfers to you on final payment. Nothing we make for you is resold or reused elsewhere.

Two revision rounds

Included in the quoted price. Corrections are logged against the draft rather than argued over on a call.

How it works

Five steps, and you approve the first three

01 · Brief

You tell us what the finished thing has to do, and send whatever material you already have.

02 · Scope & price

A written scope, a fixed figure and a delivery date, usually within one working day.

03 · Structure

You sign off the architecture before production starts, so nothing large is built on a wrong assumption.

04 · Production

Work arrives in stages as it finishes, not all at the end, with two revision rounds included.

05 · Handover

Files, sources and rights in your hands, and the invoice closed.

In detail

Custom font development — how we produce it

Multi-script families are harmonised so a page can set the same text in three scripts at matching weight — the reason a textbook publisher can ship one layout in several languages. From $2,400.

Because writers, translators, designers, draughtspeople and typesetters sit in the same building in Chennai, this can be commissioned together with everything around it: translation into any of a hundred-plus languages, the figures and illustrations, the typesetting, the presentation and the production files. One schedule, one point of contact, one invoice.

Pricing is quoted in US dollars and fixed in writing before work starts. Fifty per cent is payable in advance and the balance on delivery, with long projects staged so neither side carries the whole risk. Two revision rounds are included, and copyright transfers to you in full on final payment, together with the editable source files.

Questions

Before you commission

How much does custom font development cost?

Prices are fixed in writing before work begins. Scope, language count and turnaround move the figure; volume across a programme brings it down. Send the brief and you have a number within a working day.

How long does it take?

Most single deliverables run three to fourteen weeks depending on length and complexity. Programmes are staged so early parts reach you while later parts are still in production. You get a date with the quote.

Who does the work?

A specialist from our custom retail typefaces team, with an editor and a production person on the same project. Everyone is bound by the same confidentiality terms.

Do I own the result?

Yes. Full copyright transfer, editable sources and production-ready files on final payment. Nothing is resold or reused.

Can it be produced in other languages?

Yes — any of a hundred-plus languages, typeset in the same studio so layout and page numbers match across editions.

Do you work with clients outside India?

Yes. Publishers, institutions and founders in the United States, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Canada, Australia and Japan. Work is delivered by email and shared drive and quoted in US dollars.
