Iwata

Since its establishment in 1920, it has been working to create fonts to meet the needs of the writing environment that the times demand, while maintaining the good old type tradition of metal type for more than 100 years. "Iwata's attitude toward "type" has not changed consistently since its inception, and continues to contribute to the character culture based on a firm philosophy based on technology and experience that we have cultivated for many years."

Hypertype

Hypertype is a multi-script type design studio dedicated to connecting people and cultures through typography—beyond linguistic boundaries. Founded in 2020 by Minjoo Ham and Mark Frömberg, Hypertype is driven by in-depth research and a technology-focused design approach, continuously exploring new possibilities within type design. We recognize that every culture is shaped by its own writing systems, and we are committed to creating typefaces that respect, reflect, and celebrate these differences. Based in Berlin, Germany, Hypertype collaborates with global brands and cultural institutions to produce engaging, functional, and thoughtfully crafted multi-script type design projects. With a strong passion for type technology, we develop typographic solutions that remain coherent and expressive across complex linguistic environments. At Hypertype, we believe that type is more than letters on a page. Type is a powerful tool for communication—one that shapes identity, conveys meaning, and contributes to culture itself.

Nutype

Nutype is a type foundry composed of three female type designers: Seulki Kim, Jinhee Kim, and Suhyun Lee. We experiment with Nu:New concepts that allow type to be experienced in various forms. ‘집輯’ is a term used in literature and music to group topics under a single theme, which is not commonly used in the field of type design. Nutype adopts this concept, creating types around the same theme and transforming them into something tangible that can be experienced in reality.
