Founded in 2009, the Indian Type Foundry (ITF) designs and distributes fine-quality multilingual fonts for both Indian and global markets.

ITF’s retail library includes fonts for both text and display use, with styles ranging from traditional to experimental. In addition to its retail offerings, ITF creates custom fonts for leading global brands, designed to meet the specific needs of large organizations. With over 300 retail font families spanning 20 writing systems, ITF is one of the largest independent type foundries in the world.

ITF’s flagship Kohinoor Multiscript font family has been part of the permanent “Designer Maker User” exhibition at London’s Design Museum since 2016, which showcases over 1,000 iconic designs from the 20th and 21st centuries. ITF’s fonts have also earned prestigious accolades, including iF Design Awards for custom fonts created for Samsung and Standard Chartered.

In addition to its premium offerings, ITF is behind some of the world’s most recognized and widely used free fonts, including Poppins, which is featured on millions of websites globally, as well as Satoshi, Clash Display, Hind, General Sans, and Khand. ITF’s premium fonts are currently used by some of the world’s most iconic brands, including Apple, Google, Samsung, Sony, Amazon, Hyundai, Siemens, Standard Chartered, Pernod Ricard, Dupont, Philip Morris, and Publicis Groupe.

At ITF, we remain dedicated to pushing the boundaries of type design, creating fonts that not only meet practical needs but also reflect the cultural and aesthetic diversity of languages and writing systems.
