ReType also
designs and produces new alphabets on demand. Frequently
companies need to use an exclusive set of fonts or want
to expand their logos into a fully usable typeface. We
have the expertise to provide high quality fonts for every
standard digital format.
Case#1: Smidswater Italics
Smidswater
is a Dutch graphic design studio with offices in
The Hague and Breda.
They had a corporate font (designed by Paulus Nabbe
and Onno Bevoort) but
wanted to expand the package adding italics and light
weights. Ramiro Espinoza was commissioned for this
and now Smidswater Font is a complete set extensively
used in the studio's indentity. See
the complete set.
Case#2: Maitena Font
Maitena
Burundarena is
one of the most famous Latin American comic artists.
Her largely acclaimed drawings and texts transcend
humour and are deep reflexions about feminism, love,
work relationships and social classes.
Back in 2003, following the success of Maitena's comic
books and the need to translate her work to other languages,
a font that imitates her handwriting was developed to
allow designers in other countries to get the same look
inside the comic balloons.
