Type Together :: High quality fonts and custom type design

Type-together is an independent type foundry, founded by Veronika and Jose in 2006, now based in Argentina and temporarily Colorado/USA, offering both retail and custom made fonts.

The company developed out of the desire to create an independent platform for publishing high quality typefaces and to collaborate on new type projects together. Hence the name. Type-together's focus is on finding innovative and stylish solutions to old problems for mainly the professional market of text typefaces. However, there are also a couple of more experimental display faces in the make.

Type-together also aims for excellent technical performance, broad language support and at least the standard opentype features.

Veronika Burian :::: Veronika Burian was born in Prague in 1973. Her family fled seven years later to Munich, Germany, where she graduated in Industrial Design at the University of Applied Sciences.

Before completing her studies she went to Vienna, Austria, to work as product designer at Gregerpauschitz. In 2000 she joined the team of the Japanese designer Makio Hasuike in Milan, Italy. Here Veronika’s interests shifted increasingly from product to graphic design and typography where she felt more at home. The decision to focus more exclusively on type design developed naturally, reinforced by her collaboration with Leftloft for the exhibition Italic 1.0 at AtypI and her involvement in teaching at the Politecnico of Milan. In 2003 she completed her MA in Typeface Design with distinction at the University of Reading and is amongst other things currently working as type designer at Dalton Maag in London, UK.

Some of her typefaces received the TDC Certificate of Excellence in Type Design in 2004, were selected in the Type Design competition from Creative Review in 2005 and are part of the touring exhibition e-a-t and the SOTA Typegallery at Typecon.
