Alterations of typefaces have more and more become a current method under leading graphic designers and typographers. Often enough the editing of a typeface not only improves on typography, but also may save a lot of time in typesetting. However there is quite a bit of know-how involved - especially concerning the variety of font formats and technologies within todays multi-platform computer environments. Here is a brief overview to the possibilities in custom type design.

• Embedding of single custom glyphs, logotypes, symbols etc. in an existing typeface.
• Combining a larger set of custom icons or pictograms within a single font file to improve handling.
• Extensions to the existing character set, like adding the Euro-sign, certain ligatures etc.
• Extended character sets for enhanced language support, like Central European, Cyrillic or Greek glyph tables.
• Improve kerning and/or spacing of existing fonts for a specific use, like extra small sizes or all caps.
• Add TrueType instructions (Hinting) to an existing typeface to improve onscreen readability.
• Creation of special bitmap fonts for use in screen design or smaller displays, like handhelds etc.
• And last but not least: Development of corporate type designs for a unique typographic appearance of your business.
