About us

Naipe Foundry designs custom typefaces and refines logotypes with care, curiosity and craft. Born in Rio and based in Barcelona, we’ve been helping brands find their typographic voice since 2018.

Our work is grounded in research and cultural context. We collaborate closely, think strategically and deliver type that looks right, feels right and works everywhere. With tailored tools and hassle-free licensing, we make type that’s easy to work with and ready to go.

Our core team works with a network of native script specialists that ensure our fonts are high quality in any writing system, always keeping consistency and cultural sensitivity in balance.

If you’re looking for type that fits just right, we’d love to hear from you.

We can build the perfect fonts for your brand.

Three reasons to work with Naipe

Naipe is context

Every project is a deep dive

Our fonts are born from stories: places, cultures, and traditions that shape the world around us.

Each one is thoughtfully designed with context in mind. We go deep into research and find stories that push brand values and deliver shapes that bring character and depth to every project.

Naipe is tech

Our fonts do what others can’t

Whether we are serving a brand value or solving a technical challenge, we always find a way to make your vision a reality.

We leverage the latest type technology to deliver smart fonts that are easy to use and capable of bringing your brand values to every touch point.

Naipe is global

Global fonts with local warmth

Our core team works with a network of native script specialists that ensure our fonts are high quality in any writing system, always keeping consistency and cultural sensitivity in balance.

Whether it’s Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic or Hangeul, Naipe has your back.
