Fonts and Icons Design Made for Your Brand
Fonts and icons design at our studio creates lettering and symbols that belong only to your brand or project, for commercial or personal use. Designers, artists and agencies send a sketch, a photo of hand lettering or a description of the style they want, and we draw each character and icon by hand in Adobe Illustrator before building the final files.
- Typefaces in serif, script, handwritten and more
- Icon sets drawn in one consistent style
- Hand lettering converted into a working font
- Formats and timeline confirmed in your quote
What Is Fonts and Icons Design?
A font is a set of letters, numbers and symbols you can type with, saved as a file such as OTF or TTF and scalable to any size. An icon is a small picture that stands for an idea, an action or a company. Designing both means setting rules for stroke weight, proportions and spacing so every character and symbol looks like part of one family.
- Matching stroke weight across every glyph
- Letter spacing tuned for readable words
- Icons drawn on one grid so they align
Type & Icon Work We Do
Bring a sketch, a reference or just an idea. Every glyph and symbol is drawn manually, never auto-traced and left as is.
Custom Display Fonts
Headline typefaces in serif, sans serif, slab serif or decorative styles for logos, posters and packaging.
Script & Calligraphy Fonts
Flowing letterforms with connecting strokes, drawn so the joins look natural in real words.
Handwriting to Font
Send a photo or scan of letters, and we redraw them as vectors and build a font you can type with.
Brand Icon Sets
Unique icons for a company, drawn in a shared style so they sit together on a site, sign or menu.
Universal Symbol Icons
Clear, widely understood symbols such as phone, mail or location, styled to match your brand.
Logo-Style Marks
A single icon that works as a brand mark. For full logo concepts see creative logo design.
Who Orders Custom Type & Icons
Mostly people who use lettering and symbols every day in their own design work.

Fonts and Icons Design FAQ
What is fonts and icons design?
Fonts and icons design is the creation of custom lettering and symbols for a brand or project. A font is a typeable set of characters saved as a file like OTF or TTF, while icons are small pictures that represent ideas or actions. Both are drawn to shared rules so they look like one family.
How much does fonts and icons design cost?
Pricing depends on how many characters or icons you need and how detailed the style is. A short icon set costs less than a full alphabet with numbers and punctuation. Send your request, and we email an exact price and timeline before any drawing starts.
Can you turn my handwriting into a font?
Yes. Send clear photos or scans of your letters, ideally the full alphabet plus any numbers and marks you want. We redraw each one as a smooth vector, balance the strokes, set the spacing and build a font file you can install and type with.
What font styles can you design?
We design serif, sans serif, slab serif, script, calligraphy, handwritten and decorative styles. Tell us where the font will be used, such as a logo, packaging or posters, and we shape the letters to stay readable at those sizes while keeping the character you want.
What file types do fonts and icons come in?
Fonts are usually supplied as OTF or TTF files, and icons as SVG, PNG or JPG images. The exact formats depend on how you plan to use them, so we confirm the font and icon formats you need in the quote before we begin.
Can I own the font or icon set outright?
Yes. Once the project is paid, we can transfer full ownership of the finished font files and icon set to you, so you can install them across your company, embed them in apps and websites, or license them to others yourself. Ask for the transfer in your brief or at approval.
How does ordering work?
Send your sketches, references and list of characters or icons through the form. We review the request and email an exact quote with a timeline. Payment by PayPal, Visa or Mastercard begins the work. Two free revisions are included, plus our 100% money-back guarantee if the result misses the brief.
