Qlikview Sans: Tailored font for data visualisation

TypeTogether was entrusted to develop QlikView Sans, a custom four-style typeface for the software company QlikTech International, which specialises in web-based applications for self-service data visualisation. The primary goals were to create a typeface that performs well on digital platforms in small pixel sizes, works naturally and effectively with large amounts of data, and unifies the look and feel of Qlik’s products internationally. TypeTogether added carefully chosen humanistic elements to grotesque letter structures to create an exclusive typeface that excels in function, clarity, and has an easygoing tone — QlikView Sans. TypeTogether makes tailored typefaces for organizations all over the world, so please get in touch if you’d like to discuss your organization’s needs for custom typefaces.

new release
Capitolium Headline 2

We are very pleased to announce the newest update to the multi-award winning Capitolium 2 type family by renowned Dutch designer Dr Gerard Unger. Typefaces for headings must differ substantially from their text versions. Capitolium Headline 2, the new titling companion to the editorial type family, was exquisitely engineered for large sizes and compact typesetting. The large x-height, narrow lettershapes, and Capitolium’s naturally high stroke contrast all allow for elegant and striking multi-line headlines. Capitolium Headline 2 includes three weights with matching italics to extend the modern look and indestructible function of the editorial styles.

TYPE IN USE
Sirba, the dictionary font

Sirba, a typeface designed specifically for complex text environments by Nicolien van der Keur, was used in the 2015 Latin–Norwegian dictionary, published by one of Norway’s premier publishing houses, Cappelen Damm. Tank Design, responsible for the design of the dictionary, used a customized version of Sirba IPA (phonetic alphabet) for this complex project and were delighted with the results.
