Custom

We design bespoke typefaces and adapt our retail families for brands, institutions and studios. Projects range from a handful of letters drawn out of a logo to complete systems with mono, italics and extended language support. Every character gets the same care, and our team scales to large projects without missing the deadlines they depend on. We also stay on after launch to add the weights, glyphs and fixes a working identity needs

PAC Custom Typeface

PAC Custom Typeface

Translating this into an identity system, we took PAC NYC’s iconic architecture as our starting point: a cube at eye level, a square at aerial view. To mirror this in the logo, each letter was meticulously designed to a square ratio, which becomes the simple symbol that sits at its core with "PAC" and "NYC" set on either side. The logo stands as an icon in its own right and expands into a powerful framing device for a diverse array of content: a way for people to see themselves in the brand and a glimpse into the diverse programming happening within its walls. To support their many communication needs and ambition for mass appeal, we designed a custom display typeface, PAC Display, that references the form of the building with a distinctly New York vernacular referencing 19th Century Gothic street signage. A flexible approach to typesetting and layouts ensures PAC Display can become synonymous with the institution over time, while adapting to a wide range of interdisciplinary programming without feeling repetitive.

Base Sans

Base Sans

Base Sans is the primary typeface of Base. It is at the heart of our identity and is purpose built for legibility and adaptability in the fast moving onchain world. Its open counters echo the Square's geometry. Base Mono complements Base Sans, and is meant for setting metadata, code blocks, and for display purposes in more developer-facing contexts. Base Sans is based on Modern Gothic, and includes unique customizations and alternative glyphs that makes it more ownable to Base, and more legible. Several letters were given a more geometric structure, to have better flow, consistency and appropriateness to the brand. In addition, there is a set of unique alternate shapes for the b, h, m, n, r, u and the symbols that are decisively geometric and are means for occasional display purposes, especially in developers setting.

MotoSans

MotoSans

Motorola’s wordmark already had a typeface hiding in it. Six letters, m, o, t, r, a and l, were sitting right there in the logo. We lifted them, adjusted them to work inside a proper type system, and drew everything else around them. The result is 769 glyphs across Regular and Italic. The Motorola M comes along as a glyph, so it’s always a keystroke away. When product names called for it, superscript numerals were added so that “5G” sits properly in a headline. The family keeps growing with the brand, most recently through a set extension in 2026.
