Custom Font Design

Whether you need a digital version of an existing typeface, or want to design a new typeface from scratch, CastleType can help you. Clients from New York to Tokyo have sought out California-based CastleType because of its reputation for friendly, professional, and efficient service.

For example, CastleType created several fonts for the corporate identity of multinational giant, Chevron, including a digital version of the logotype. You've seen the Chevron logotype everywhere. But what you may not have known is that the typeface that is used for it only had about 12 letters when CastleType was commissioned to do a digital version of it in 1996. From those few letters, CastleType created a complete upper and lowercase alphabet with punctuation. Because of the extremely high x-height, certain letters (especially the lowercase 'f') were a special challenge. In fact, some changes had to be made to the original design, but they are subtle enough that (hopefully) no one will ever notice the difference!
