Some people let their imagination run wild. Martin captures the movement.

Marto is a Visual & Motion Designer here at the studio. He occasionally works on visuals for the website and social media, but he's mostly taking the role of a Font Whisperer - he brings typefaces to life and showcases their individual character through color, motion and concept visuals.

⛰️ When he's not at home working his craft with impressive precision, Marti grabs his equipment (probably including an oversize t-shirt) and finds a scenic mountain trail to explore. But don't let his love for the calm of nature fool you - he's also fond of high-speed adventures. Don't believe us? Then you've never been karting with him.

Marti, thank you for bringing color to our days - your kindness is a trend that would never fade.

Typography so vibrant you can almost taste it! 🍓

This is a feeling bulky handwritten fonts often evoke - their chunky, bold, and friendly shapes capture the attention and are a great choice for any brand that wants to feel human and expressive, particularly in the food and drinks industry.

Ganders’s identity for Stiller’s Soda and Saint Urbain's branding for Cob Foods are great examples - vivid imagery that makes you want more.

Would you feel the same about your favorite book if it was printed in a type that just doesn’t go with the story? 📖

📚 It wouldn’t be a pleasant experience, but choosing the best typeface for a book goes beyond genre. The best book fonts should support long-form text, clear hierarchy, and the realities of print and digital production.

Focused, more focused, Sergey!

👨🏻‍💼 Serge is the Head of Sales here at the foundry. He expertly guides our customers through the realms of font licensing, helping everyone find what they're looking for.

He has successfully mastered the art of not letting anything bother him while he works, although that hasn't stopped us from trying. He may not be a man of many words, but when he speaks, it's worth listening - similar to his beloved math problems, his words are precise and always add up.

Underneath the focus, there's a gamer with the enthusiasm of a kid - a controller in one hand, a tasty snack within reach. 🎮

Thank you, Serge, for the steady presence and the calm in all the chaos.
