Facebook About TYPEHEIST Font Foundry

What is Typeheist?


Typeheist is an independent font foundry focusing on handwritten, realistic fonts that are a little different (possibly intentionally 'bad').

Each typeface is hand-lettered, ensuring a natural flow and unscripted feel. Making use of OpenType features such as Stylistic Alternates, Standard and Discretionary Ligatures, Typeheist offers dynamic fonts with a wide range of glyphs that can be customised per person or per project.

Founded in 2020 by Laura Eddy, a product designer with a love for typography.

Micah loves a hand drawn element to type projects and these emo sounding typefaces are great examples of hand-written fonts done well, with plenty of stylistic alternatives to add to that human feel. Great stuff."
