TYPE BY is an independent retail font publishing label established in 2018 and lead by Corina Cotorobai and Fred Smeihers. Despite its new name and concept, both Corina and Fred are not novices in font-publishing. They had formerly co-founded the critically acclaimed OurType foundry, with the entrepreneurs Rudy Geeraerts and Martine Leloup, – a project Corina and Fred had withdrawn from in 2017. TYPE BY’s mother company, TYPE TAILORS, was established in 2008 and will continue to serve proprietary typeface design clients worldwide. At launch, the TYPE BY collection comprises 50 distinct typeface designs, available in families or stand-alone single designs, that are both, brand new releases, as well as typeface designs formerly published by OurType and FontFont/Monotype. TYPE BY’s products are conceived and manufactured to meet the highest demands of the broader design industries, as well as publishing, media, packaging, and banking, or any other fields requiring high-end typefaces for expressive and efficient communication. The TYPE BY portfolio is set to grow, new releases to be announced twice a year.

Fred Smeijers is a Dutch type designer, researcher, educator, and author. Educated at the school of art in Arnhem, he worked as a typographic advisor to the reprographic company Océ, then became a founding member of the graphic design practice Quadraat, which provided the name for his first published typeface (FontFont, 1992). Among the most versatile contemporary type designers, Smeijers has a whole range of distinctive typefaces to his credit: Renard (TEFF); Nobel (DTL); Arnhem, Fresco, Sansa, Custodia, Ludwig, Monitor, and Puncho – first published by OurType, the font label that he co-founded and led as creative director from 2002 to 2017.

Thomas Thiemich is a German type designer fascinated by analytics, logic, mathematics, physics, and… performance cycling. Thomas was educated at Otto-Guericke-Universität in Magdeburg studying Computational Visualistics (2000-2001), later transferring to Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig (HGB), where he dived into type design, and applied his knowledge on both type design and type systems.

Hendrik Weber is a German graphic and typeface designer with a keen interest in branding and history of type. Hendrik was educated in Potsdam studying graphic design. He later followed his passion for type, transferring to Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig to study type design with Fred Smeijers. During his time in Leipzig, Hendrik rediscovered his calligraphic skills, fell in love with heavy, condensed sanserifs, and developed a special interest in italic letters. Hendrik graduated Cum Laude in 2009.

Merel Wagner is a New-York-based award-wining Dutch graphic designer with a keen interest in multidisciplinary design. Merel was educated at the Art Center College of Design, first in Switzerland (1992–94) and then in Pasadena, USA, graduating in Graphic & Packaging Design in 1996.

Pierre’s multiple talents range from designing playful typographic posters, to conceiving award-winning book designs, as well as public appearances presenting his research subjects, and designing type – that is often linked to his research fields.

Corina Cotorobai is an award-winning graphic and typographic designer. Sharp, curious, and knowledgeable, Corina has been working in the field of typography since 1995 – offering tailored type and typography solutions for print, software, and product manufacturers. Having gone full circle from classical Art education all the way to Applied Arts, Corina fell in love with letters early on, by way of graphic design in general, and typography and type design, especially. Corina holds a BA in graphic design from the Institute of Arts (1997), and a MA in type design and typography from the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague (KABK, 2001) and a MA in book design and typography from Werkplaats Typografie in Arnhem (ArtEZ, 2003).
