'THE WORLD IS DESERVING OF BETTER DESIGN': KOTO'S JOWEY RODEN ON HIS MISSION TO MAKE QUALITY TYPEFACES AFFORDABLE

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Koto has launched CcType, a new type foundry that makes its design expertise available beyond its client work, following the same philosophy behind its free educational platform, Seasoned. Rather than releasing a large catalogue, the foundry debuts with a single typeface, CcTimeline, reflecting a deliberate "build in public" approach focused on quality, experimentation, and accessibility, with pricing aimed at freelancers and small studios. The initiative was inspired by the strong demand for Koto's open-source client typefaces and represents a broader effort to democratize high-quality design while continuing to refine the studio's craft in public.
