Parachute® with its team of experts, will design your brand typeface with a cohesive visual language across the entire communication space and optimise its performance in virtually any environment. Imagining, creating and generating typefaces is our thing. We understand the needs of our clients beyond local markets, we translate the emotional aspects of your brand into the right typeface, we help you keep pace of the technology race and convey your message in style.
Recently, D&AD invited Panos Vassiliou, who was appointed President of the Type Design Competition, to write an article on how typography affects the visual language of a brand. Here, in a few sentences, you will find out how typography has become the star of the visual communications industry and why it is so important for your company to invest in its own custom typeface.
A bespoke typeface elevates a brand's identity. But sometimes it is the financial benefit of going bespoke that really, truly, matters.
OUR STUDIO
Parachute® is more than a type foundry. It is an experimental space, a typographic playground expressed in a design studio, showroom and concept store under one roof with our creative hub Typeroom®. A place to experiment, play and create. Our team is a small visionary group of type designers, graphic designers, font engineers and copywriters who have effectively collaborated with leading international organizations to incorporate complex custom type design into their brand’s strategic plan and convey their message in style. We use the power of typography to transform living brands to global brands and local leaders to next-generation global leaders.

Kraft Foods
The street smart campaign for Kraft’s 3Bit chocolate bars was under way and Parachute® was invited to collaborate in the development of a font which would brand this product to young consumers. This custom font was inspired by graffiti tags and reflects the streetwise nature of a fictitious MC character created specifically for this campaign.
