July Type is a type design studio based in The Hague, Netherlands, specializing in high-quality retail and custom typefaces. We combine historical knowledge with contemporary letter design craft for a global audience. The quality of our typefaces and comprehensive language support are essential to us, and we take great care to ensure our fonts are accessible and functional across a wide range of languages. While we specialize in Latin and Cyrillic scripts, we actively collaborate with other designers to develop multiscript typefaces.

We specialise in Latin and Cyrillic scripts, and within the basic character sets of our typefaces, we aim to support as many languages as possible. Our designers come from diverse backgrounds, which helps us to bring native-speaker perspectives to specific languages and accents. Language support is very important to us, so users from different countries can use our fonts with ease and enjoyment. Currently we are working on expanding our language support to Hangul script. If you are interested in a language extension request, please feel free to contact us.

The quality of drawing and the performance of our fonts are our highest priorities. All of our designers value careful craftsmanship, hand drawing, and the time required to develop well balanced, detailed, and original typefaces. Most of the typefaces in our library are self-initiated projects, which allows us to dedicate the necessary time to their development. Depending on the complexity and scale of the project, some typefaces evolve over a period of several years. What takes so much time? Beyond the drawing itself, or a scale of the project for example in case of super family, an essential part of the process involves spacing and kerning — what directly affect readability and the overall texture of the text. Achieving the right balance between letterforms and counter spaces requires extensive refinement to create a harmonious rhythm and consistent texture colour.

Another important stage is font engineering. A typeface is ultimately a piece of software that needs to perform reliably across different operating systems, applications, and screen resolutions. We pay close attention to technical quality, ensuring OpenType functionality, alternative characters, ligatures, contextual alternates, math symbols, and many other features work smoothly and consistently. The technical capabilities and character sets of each typeface are documented in the PDF specimens available on every typeface page!
