Custom Fonts and Icon Fonts
Distinct type, icon, and symbol systems for products, brands, interfaces, and publishing workflows.
AP.CX designs custom fonts, adapts existing type ideas, and builds icon systems that behave well in real software. The work can be expressive, technical, or quietly invisible, depending on what the system needs to do.
A project can start from a wordmark, a product interface, a set of symbols, or a broader brand direction. The goal is to turn that material into durable font files, practical icon assets, source files, and guidance that makes implementation straightforward.
What We Build
- Custom typefaces for brand, editorial, product, and interface systems.
- Icon fonts and symbol sets for apps, dashboards, websites, and design systems.
- Custom SF Symbols style icons for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS products.
- Static or animated icon assets for app UI, onboarding, and product moments.
- Adaptations of existing fonts, including stylistic alternates and brand details.
- Font production, spacing, OpenType features, variable font setup, and QA passes.
- Icon and asset workflows for Figma, Xcode, web apps, and design systems.
- Language coverage extensions and technical support for app or web integration.
A Good Fit
Custom work is useful when the default choices are close but not quite ownable, when an interface needs symbols that feel native to the product, or when a brand needs a type system that can travel from a tiny label to a full digital product.
The process stays practical: define the role of the font or icon set, draw the important shapes, test early in real layouts, then tighten the files until they hold up in production.
Start a Brief
Email hello@ap.cx with the project context, target platforms, timeline, and any existing type, logo, icon, or design system material. For app icon work, include whether the output should be SF Symbols style, an icon font, SVG, Lottie, video, PNG, or Xcode-ready assets. Rough notes are enough for a first conversation.
