The collaboration was officially unveiled last week during technology conference Web Summit 2024 in Lisbon, where both companies’ CEOs – Monotype’s Ninan Chacko and Kittl’s Nicolas Heymann – were taking part on 14 November in a panel discussion, ‘Designing tomorrow, The role of creative AI’.

Kittl will integrate 135 Monotype fonts, including popular and variable fonts such as Avenir Next, Futura Now, and Helvetica Now Variable into its platform, enhancing design capabilities and creative possibilities for its users, which include individual designers, brands, and small business owners.

Kittl said that, in collaboration with Monotype, it is focused on developing a dynamic type library for its expanding design tool.

The business, which was recently named one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI startups, will also introduce new templates featuring Monotype fonts, providing users with ready-to-use design assets that leverage high-quality typography.

Monotype’s Chacko said: “Our collaboration with Kittl underscores the transformative power of typography in design. By integrating our high-quality fonts with Kittl’s innovative platform, we are empowering designers to push the boundaries of creativity and elevate their work to new heights.

“This partnership is not just about accessibility; it’s about revolutionising the way designers interact with type to create impactful, authentic brand experiences.”

Kittl’s Heymann added: “Typography is in Kittl’s DNA from our early days as a font marketplace. We’re proud to enter this partnership with Monotype to bring over 100 of the most iconic fonts to Kittl users.

“These are the fonts that professional designers and brands use every day, and we can’t wait to see what our users create with them moving forward.”

To date, Monotype’s program includes partnerships with the likes of Sufio and Picsart.
