Welcome to Monocotype! We’re a passionate team with a clear vision: to create fonts that connect people through functionality, language, and inclusivity. Founded in 2018 by Abdurrahman Hanif, Monocotype was born from a love for typography and a mission to make language more accessible through thoughtfully crafted fonts.
Our Story
Our founder, Abdurrahman Hanif (@abdrhnf), discovered his passion for type during his studies in Publishing at Politeknik Negeri Media Kreatif, where he graduated in 2019. Immersed in the world of typesetting books, he saw the potential of fonts to bring stories to life and foster connections across cultures. This passion became the foundation of Monocotype’s journey—a journey to bridge languages and make communication seamless through innovative type design.
Since 2018, we’ve been guided by one principle: functional fonts that embrace language. From retail display fonts to text fonts for various media, we strive to deliver typefaces that not only look great but also work beautifully across scripts and systems.
What We Do
At Monocotype, we specialize in:
- Developing multilingual fonts with broad script support, including Arabic, Cyrillic, Hanzi Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
- Publishing retail fonts tailored for both display and text needs.
- Custom font services, from modifying our existing library to crafting unique typefaces for brands, including bespoke logotypes.
We’re proud to support creative professionals and big corporations alike, offering corporate licenses for our typefaces and ensuring our fonts meet the highest standards of quality and compatibility.
