Core offering

Glyph Co is a creativity and growth agency providing professional design services across four practice areas: branding (purpose, identity systems, campaigns, digital experiences, packaging), publications (editorial design, custom publishing, books, magazines), typography (type design, custom typeface development, typesetting, multilingual typography), and social causes (social innovation, CSR, cause-related marketing). Clients include enterprises such as Google Fonts, IDT Corporation/BOSS Revolution, Vayyar, PropertyGuru, Nestlé, and Roca Wines, with the agency also producing proprietary typefaces like Petrona (published on Google Fonts), Dragon, and Ouroboros.

Product overview

The Glyph Media Group Inc (operating as Glyph Design Co) is a creativity and growth agency providing professional design services rather than a software product company. The core offering consists of three main service lines: Branding Services (identity systems, campaigns, digital experiences, packaging), Publications Services (editorial design, custom publishing, magazines, books), and Typography Services (type design, development, custom lettering). The company also provides Social Causes consulting for social innovation initiatives. The portfolio includes proprietary typefaces such as Petrona (available on Google Fonts), Ouroboros, and Dragon, which serve as sub-products demonstrating typographic expertise. Additional offerings include brand extensions and the Human Type publishing venture. The company operates from NYC and DC with global reach.
