MIAMI, Oct. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Monotype Imaging Inc., a global leader in type design and innovation, is opening up a “Universe of Type” for Adobe MAX 2024 attendees and inviting them to embark on a voyage of seamless creative discovery.

Adobe MAX, taking place October 14 to 16 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, is the world’s leading creativity conference for creative professionals, designers, and industry experts. At the show, the Monotype booth will be showcasing some of the brightest typefaces in the Monotype library’s firmament of more than 150,000 premium fonts. On hand to aid attendees’ discovery will be Monotype’s new AI-enabled font pairing tool — and an offer for a “typographic palm reading” with Monotype’s type experts.

Monotype’s Spike Spondike, Senior Type Designer, and Kerry Squires, Senior Brand Designer, will lead a breakout session at 1 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, October 14, entitled “Aligning Stars & Serifs: A Guide to the Typographic Universe.” In the session, Spike and Kerry will take attendees on a journey of discovery, showcasing the tools, libraries, and emerging technologies that empower design decision-making and simplify the creative process in an ever-expanding universe of typographic choice.

“At Monotype, we see the ‘Universe of Type’ as a living, breathing creative ecosystem, with new typographic stars being added every day by foundries and independent type designers around the world,” says Spike Spondike.

“Navigating a universe with so many typographic possibilities can be daunting, no matter where you are in your career,” says Kerry Squires. “That’s why this year at Adobe MAX we want to offer guidance on how to deal with this. Using personal reflection and asking ourselves specific questions, we will also be showcasing some of the incredible new tools and technologies from Monotype to help creative professionals quickly and easily discover new design horizons and exciting creative combinations.”

At Adobe MAX last year, Monotype celebrated 1,400 foundry partners joining the then newly launched Monotype Foundry Program. One year on at Adobe MAX 2024, the Program has grown by 60%, with over 2,230 foundries around the world now participating. Combined, Monotype’s Foundry partners release over 3,200 new typefaces every month across Monotype platforms, some of which are showcased on the Monotype booth.

At Adobe MAX, Monotype is also unveiling a new collaboration with Field Notes, the iconic American notebook brand. This partnership marks the beginning of a series of collaborative design moments set to unfold over the next six months, starting with the launch of a limited-edition notebook available on Monotype’s booth at Adobe Max 2024.

“Field Notes is synonymous with the celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and the enduring American design tradition,” says Bill Connolly, Creative Evangelist at Monotype. “Monotype’s collab with Field Notes is founded on our shared commitment to celebrating and elevating the creative design community — and we’re thrilled to share that here with attendees at Adobe MAX.”

“We’re excited to be working with Monotype to improve and streamline the typography for Field Notes products and all our communications in print and online,” says Jim Coudal, President of Field Notes. “Our new collaboration for Adobe Max is just the beginning. We have some fun projects planned and we can’t wait to share them with Field Notes customers and the design and type communities.”

Adobe MAX 2024 attendees can register to attend Monotype’s breakout session “Aligning Stars & Serifs: A Guide to the Typographic Universe.” (Subject to availability.)
