Monotype 

From the fine craftsmanship of the stroke to the typographic engineering that moves the planet.

If you interact with the modern world, you read Monotype every single day. Considered the undisputed global leader in typography and font technology, the firm manages the most extensive and influential typographic catalog in the world, supporting world-class brands like Balenciaga, Duolingo, Reckitt, Evri, Captain Morgan, and TeamViewer.

From redesigning and expanding typographic monuments like Helvetica Now and Futura Now to crafting bespoke typefaces for corporate giants, Monotype is the backbone ensuring a brand’s identity speaks with consistency, precision, and power across any medium, scale, or language.

In an era where managing visual infrastructure presents a monumental challenge for global organizations, Monotype bridges handcrafted design, cutting-edge engineering, and an unparalleled historical archive. Taking the stage at OFFF Sevilla is a benchmark team led by Phil Garnham (Executive Creative Director in London and key strategist in translating corporate values into the curve of a letter), Friedrich Althausen (Creative Type Director in Berlin, trained at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, creator of the renowned Vollkorn font, and architect of Helvetica Now Variable), and Norbert Krausz (type designer and engineer trained at the prestigious University of Reading and a key figure in milestones such as FF DIN and CJK font families).

Together, they embody the perfect intersection between the fine craftsmanship of calligraphy and vector drawing, and the science of code and font engineering. An essential deep dive into how type design not only solves technical challenges of legibility and performance on a global scale, but also invisibly and decisively shapes the emotional tone and cultural impact of our time.
