Monkey Type is an innovative, independent type foundry with roots in both the bustling city of New York and the scenic mountains of Chamonix, France. What sets this creative studio apart, beyond their eye-catching fonts, is their commitment to giving back. A portion of their profits is donated to animal sanctuaries and shelters, supporting the care and rehabilitation of various animals in need. Fittingly, some of the creatures they help are monkeys—a fitting homage to the name behind the brand. Monkey Type not only crafts beautiful typography but also fosters meaningful change for animals worldwide.
After years of meticulously crafting typefaces and fine-tuning their licensing model, Monkey Type has proudly launched its official ecommerce platform, mnkytype.com.
In tandem with this milestone, they have quietly unveiled the creative minds behind the foundry—the two co-founders of the renowned DIA Studio. Although Monkey Type and DIA Studio are distinct ventures, both share an unwavering commitment to excellence, ensuring that the highest standards of design and quality are maintained across the board.
Monkey Type was born out of a desire to create a type foundry that offers serious, expertly crafted typefaces while maintaining a playful and approachable spirit. In an industry often marked by rigidity and formality, Monkey Type stands out as a refreshing alternative—an antidote to the more pretentious trends in contemporary type design. With a blend of professionalism and a lighthearted attitude, Monkey Type delivers a unique experience that welcomes designers of all levels, making the art of typography both accessible and enjoyable.
