Our Type Foundry

KOBU Foundry is a project by KOBU Agency and it was born by the hand of our type geek – Brígida Guerreiro. Her drive and passion for typography fuelled the idea and the project is now running at top speed!

Our main focus is to develop customised fonts, as we love to grasp the feeling of a project and bring it to life. We always work to deliver the best suited typographic projects, completely designed for their purpose.

We believe in the power of typography to show a brand’s personality and character and we know how a project can benefit from a much greater reach if its message is conveyed with the right typography. 

So, are you a type wacko like us? Take your time to look around, feel inspired and get in touch! Our fonts are registered and we have different types of licenses. Check out which one best suits your needs – see more on this topic here.

Typography as a Process

In our Type Foundry, developing a typeface is a design task that involves research, analysis, know-how, sensibility and technique. Our approach to the development of retail fonts is a methodological reflection. When dealing with customised fonts projects there are many other important details which are fundamental to the creative process – achieving a charismatic font is the ultimate goal.

Charisma is the cornerstone that sets the design of a visual identity and communication tone. Browse through our typefaces and read between the lines. They all tell stories and have particular features that can reflect key elements of your brand. Maybe you are curious to know more about how to get a customised font for your brand?

The Entertainment System

The Meji Adventures game cartridge

Remember the golden era of video games in the 1980s and 1990s? “Please insert cartridge”.  

Vectrex, Atari 2600, ZX Spectrum, Nintendo NES, Sega Mega Drive and countless hours of fun! This universe became timeless and we still go crazy over consoles and arcade games that tell stories about imaginary worlds, iconic villains and superheroes like Pacman, Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog. This universe sparkled our inspiration and got us excited to create a Foundry that mixes everything we love into an entertainment system: typography, fun, games, creativity, storytelling… and bonus levels just for you. KOBU Foundry was conceived with your entertainment in mind, so we dare you to explore the website and look for the perks lurking around!

Gonçalo drawing scenes for The Meji Adventures

Our first Font Collection“Meji Adventures”

Meji Adventures tell us the story of a bumpy ride made by a very curious rabbit that crosses several worlds to complete his objective – return home. The story concept was inspired by nostalgic video games and the sweetness of old tales.

This font collection includes five typefaces – Sakasu, Tsuku, Kaito, Taiyo and Meji – which were inspired by the tribulations our little white rabbit faces in each chapter of the story. Feel free to drag&insert the cartridge and experience this typographic adventure!
