TypeTogether’s 2025 Gerard Unger Scholarship is now open for submissions!
Apply before 1 June 2025.

Beautifully designed by Tereza Bettinardi and edited by Linda Kudrnovská, this book maps ten years of the Gerard Unger Scholarship, which was founded to help young type designers complete and publish their typefaces professionally. It provides a comprehensive history of the scholarship, introduces the typefaces produced thus far, and features interviews with the scholarship recipients. Order your copy here. 

Every five years we collate the typeface released within that time into a printed booklet to show off their details. This year was that year again, so grab your copy of our general catalogue highlighting 2019–2024, 

Even before the release of Playpen Sans, we intended to expand the family with more scripts for the benefit wider use. Today we are officially showing the first sneak peek of those upcoming scripts: Arabic, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Greek, Hebrew, Latin Extended, and Thai.

As with the Latin, the expanded Playpen Sans family maintains the casual look of true handwriting. We have also designed several alternates for every glyph in each script and substitute them on-the-fly to enhance the typeface’s realism. Ready for the preview?

When it comes to imagination, children want to be spurred to believe in and interact with fantastical, entertaining, and educational worlds. German company Tonies SE developed the popular Toniebox, an innovative audio system for children which combines a wireless speaker with collectable figurines called Tonies. Together with UK-based children’s storytelling agency Collaborate, they commissioned TypeTogether to create a bespoke headline typeface to replace their previous retail script.

The result, made in concert with our partner and friend Petra Dočekalová, is something brush-based, vibrant, and clear. It adds an “ownable” aspect to their brand which can’t be duplicated, sets them apart in the children’s market, and acts as the new, playful branding typeface of the Tonies identity.
