What Type Together does

TypeTogether is an independent type foundry founded in 2005/2006 by co-founders José Scaglione and Veronika Burian, headquartered in Prague-Vinohrady, Czech Republic, with US sales contact operations. The company designs, develops, and licenses a portfolio of more than 70 award-winning font families comprising roughly 600 styles, with coverage of 9 writing systems and over 200 languages. Its core products are organized around per-family typefaces (Adelle Sans, Bree, Futura®100, Portada, Tablet Gothic, Temeraire, Trevor, Dargon, and others) plus their multi-script extensions, delivered in formats including variable fonts with weight and width axes.

The foundry monetizes through tiered, one-time perpetual font licenses segmented by use case: desktop (tiered by user count from 1 to 100+), web (tiered by monthly pageviews from 10K to 1M), app embedding (per-app count), ebook, broadcasting, and merchandising. Individual styles start at approximately USD 36.01, with complete families priced up to ~USD 822. Custom typeface design for corporate clients (e.g., Austrian Airlines, Apple) is sold as bespoke professional services on an introduction-meeting basis. The free Premier Membership program acts as a product-led acquisition funnel, providing 30-day trial licenses and pre-release access to 70+ families for design professionals.

TypeTogether serves three primary customer segments — design professionals and agencies, corporate brand teams, and publishers/media companies — with a smaller layer of enterprise custom projects. Distribution is exclusively direct via the company's e-commerce storefront, with no third-party resellers. The company is bootstrapped, privately held, and operates with a headcount of 1–10 employees, with no external funding rounds disclosed.
