Typotheque is both a graphic design studio and a type foundry publishing and distributing original Latin and non-Latin fonts.

As a type foundry, Typotheque is interested in exploring the idea of contemporariness, creating quality typefaces to reflect our time and serve its needs, contributing our part to the ongoing history of type development. We pay as much attention to Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, Armenian or Devanagari scripts as we pay to Latin. In addition to our retail typeface library, Typotheque specializes in creating custom type solutions for a variety of applications and languages.

As a design studio, we shift our attention from form to meaning. Typotheque works on a wide scope of cultural and commercial projects not limited by any medium. Over the past decade we designed post stamps and oversized posters, organised events, curated and designed exhibitions, designed and edited books and magazines, launched websites, or conceived ballet performances. We rarely just receive content and give it appropriate form; we believe that the design should happen at a more fundamental level than playing with layout.

Peter Biľak, founder of Typotheque, is founding editor of Dot Dot Dot magazine, and has written for numerous design and art magazines (e.g. Idea, Print, Eye, Emigre, Items). Together with his wife Johanna Biľak, they work on a number of self initiated projects and publications directly and indirectly related to the field of graphic design.
