Typography Designer

Design

Typography Designers — commonly called type designers or typeface designers — draw and engineer original fonts and typefaces, from the initial Bézier-curve drawing of each glyph in Glyphs App or FontLab to OpenType feature programming, kerning, hinting for screen rendering, and final binary export as OTF/TTF/WOFF2. In India, this career sits at an unusual intersection: the Devanagari, Tamil, Bengali, Kannada, and Malayalam scripts are chronically under-typeset, and the rise of Google Fonts's Noto project, Indian Type Foundry (ITF), Ek Type, and Universal Thirst has created a real commercial market for Indic type designers who can handle multi-script family design — matching visual rhythm and optical size between Latin and Devanagari letterforms in the same type system. Custom brand typefaces from brands like HDFC, Zomato, and Nykaa increasingly commission Indian-based type studios for proprietary fonts. Type designers sell retail fonts via MyFonts, Future Fonts, and Adobe Fonts; work as staff designers at foundries like ITF or Adobe India; take commissions for corporate custom typefaces; or collaborate on open-source Google Fonts contributions — each revenue model requiring a different production workflow.
