Monotype is highly involved in the design community and with our customers. We use strategic mediums to connect with and support our customers, grow the value of type, and engage designers and brands. See below for examples of how we're doing this today.
Sharing our design expertise.
Our type experts recently put together Type Trends based on observations across brands using type. This recaps recent trends across type, and includes our predictions for the coming year. This is to help brands and designers stay on the forefront of trends and provides specific and practical font recommendations.
Educating customers about font licensing.
One of our primary goals is to help customers understand font licensing. This leads to more informed and more responsible font customers and users, which grows the type industry as a whole. We've built a variety of content that we existing and potential customers whom are less familiar with fonts and font licensing.

Connecting with customers through video content.
We're often talking with designers and brands from around the world, discussing their challenges, needs, and successes related to typography and design today. From these conversations, we produce and publish on-demand videos and live events for designers and font users.
