Custom Type

K-Type accepts Custom Type commissions and can provide estimates to potential customers based on the projected time for the completion of design and construction. Enquiries are welcome to keith@k-type.com

K-Type Custom typefaces have included original font designs created for businesses and local authority clients, adding new weights, italics and outlines to existing typefaces, handwriting fonts for individuals, and making special fonts to exact client requirements.

A logo or signature can be placed at the keystroke of your choice.

Unlike normal K-Type fonts, ownership of a Custom Typeface passes to the customer upon payment. Commissioning a font will secure you sole rights to use the font autonomously, exclusively and indefinitely.
