Leading type provider Monotype—who was recently named one of Fast Company’s ‘Most Innovative Companies’ worldwide in design—has introduced an easier solution for brands and creative professionals to discover, organize, share, and deploy typefaces.

Through ‘Mosaic’, users get to conveniently explore Monotype’s inventory of over 2,500 font families by filtering their options down to behavior or interests. Examples include sorting resources into projects, moods, or the team you are working with at present.

Collaboration efforts are also more of a cinch, now that fonts can be organized in a single, centralized location for your team to share with clients and other external partners, removing the need for duplicate processes and back-and-forth handovers between departments when making decisions related to font licensing.

The streamlining of work processes also allows designers to make edits more quickly and easily—in response to clients’ requests or sudden market changes—without compromising on visual unity across platforms, products, and devices.

“‘Mosaic’ has been transformative for me, and could be for anyone working with fonts,” described Sarah Hyndman, founder of Type Tasting Studio. “It helps me to be more organized. I don’t have to sort through 200 files to figure out which font is the one I want.”

“Before, my fonts had to be launched when I wanted to sample different words, so I had to remember where each font was saved. Now, I open up ‘Mosaic’ and it’s all there.”
