What we do

Retail Typefaces

We offer a carefully curated collection of fonts. Each typeface is available in multiple styles and weights, for various design applications. For more informations, please dig in our licensing options (print, web, app, media and logo) in the EULA section above.

Custom Projects

We offer a range of services tailored for companies who are looking for type solutions. Need a typeface that’s truly yours? We design bespoke typefaces for your brand’s identity, certifying exclusive rights, and coherence across all your communication materials. We also allow modifications of our catalog’s existing fonts to fit specific needs, under modified licensing agreements.

Assistance for Designers

We understand the challenges that come with bringing a typeface to completion. That's why we offer our skills to other foundries and independent designers who need help finalising their products. Whether it's fine-tuning, development, kerning, engineering, mastering… we provide support every step of the way.

Typeface Modifications & Extensions

If you are in love with one of our typefaces but need slight adjustments, we offer customisation services to modify letterforms (alternates, or stylistic tweaks), add weights, add widths, or extend character sets with additional language support.

Licensing Solutions

We offer flexible licensing models for individuals, agencies, and large-scale corporations. Whether you need an extended multi-user license or a custom agreement, we’ll find a solution that works for you. If you are a non-profit organisation or a student, we offer discounts upon providing proof of your status. Please get in touch for further informations.

Advice & Expertise

We provide guidance with a keen eye for detail on logotypes, custom lettering, shop signs, book covers, memorial inscriptions… Supporting every project from early concept through final production. We advise on typographic choices and applications to ensure each solution meets its technical requirements and aesthetic intentions.

Our Values

Quality Matters

We craft typefaces that stand the test of time, both in quality and purpose. Resisting fleeting trends, we focus on type design that strives for excellence and precision. Deep drawing skills are at the heart of Lovercase. We hold the highest standards for discerning users who want to bring on the table good design decisions. Furthermore we neither are only drawers; we are true creatives, calligraphers, technicians, software engineers and historians at the same time. That is why we are committed to transparency. Every project is sourced, and our creative process is documented, allowing designers to engage with the story behind each typeface.

Work Ethos

As a small structure, every typeface we release is the result of meticulous work. Unlike mass-market foundries, we don’t rely on shortcuts, automation, or large teams to churn out fonts at a rapid pace. Instead, we dedicate lot of time, care, and love, to guarantee each project reaches our criteria. This commitment also reflects in our pricing. We are not here only for money making, but getting the support we deserve and trusting us is making sure that good & meaningful type continues to exist outside of corporate monopolies. Our political stance is clear: we stand for an independent and horizontal system. If you choose our work, we’d like you to know you are investing in a better future.

Questions

What is a License?

By purchasing a license, you do not own the typeface itself. A font license gives you the right to use a typeface under certain conditions. You have to read all the terms of your license.

Can I use your fonts for a personal project?

Yes! We offer free trials fonts for personal and work in progress projects.

Are the licenses limited in time?

Our licenses are not limited in time. Once you purchased a font it belongs to you forever. Nevertheless custom licensing and exclusivity might be limited in time.

How and when will I get fonts?

After a successful payment, the fonts will be sent to your e-mail address together with an invoice and the EULA. Keep those files in a safe place.

How do I install your fonts?

Our fonts come in standard formats (otf, ttf, woff, woff2) and can be installed like any other font. For detailed installation guides, contact us directly.

What if I encounter a technical issue with a font?

If you experience any issues, please contact our support team with details about your setup, software, and the problem you’re facing. We’re happy to help resolve any technical difficulties.

Which languages do your typefaces support?

All our fonts are designed for Latin Extended and typically include between 800 and 1200 glyphs. You can find a detailed list of supported languages in each typeface’s PDF specimen.

My company is growing, what should I do?

If your employee number exceeds the limit of your initial license, you will have to update it.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept major credit cards, online payment platforms, and bank transfers for larger orders. If you need an alternative payment method, let us know.

Do you offer refunds?

Due to the digital nature of fonts, all sales are final. However, if you experience a technical issue, we’re happy to assist or provide a replacement.

Can I collaborate with you?

Yes, we are open to collaborations, but we carefully consider each opportunity to ensure it aligns with our values and creative direction. If you have a project in mind, feel free to reach out.
