Technical Services: Font Engineering
Beyond design
We know that the look and feel of a font is only part of every successful project. In today's multitude of Operating Systems and applications it is vitally important that the font engineering is impeccable and adheres to all applicable international standards.
Font creation
We use industry-leading tools for font design, and to create font data in whichever formats are required. To ensure repeatable, high standards of font production we have developed our own suite of utilities to allow the automation, inspection and validation of data throughout the font production process.
Font validation and testing
Fonts are pieces of software, and as with all software, bugs can occur. To minimize the chance of errors we have established processes of testing and validating font data using tools developed in-house and licensed from others, including Font Validator by Microsoft. We also test all fonts in a range of standard applications, both office and design.
Digital signature
Our faith in our products and services mean we are proud to apply a digital signature to all the fonts we produce. This identifies us as the ultimate producer of the font and allows you to be confident that the font you're using adheres to our high standards and all applicable international and industry standards.
