OUR SERVICES:
At Tortilla Studio, we handle letterform-related projects of all sizes with expertise and precision, whether it's drafting a logotype, creating a single-style font, or developing a variable superfamily and implementing it into an automated graphic system with outputs for web, print media, interactive platforms, and anything else you can think of.

With extensive specialized training and hands-on industry experience, we bring top-tier knowledge to every project. We utilize industry-standard tools as well as our own custom-built solutions to streamline and aid, or even automate the entire process of drawing, mastering and setting type, from initial sketches to quality assurance to ensure efficiency, precision, and always beautifully set fonts.

Our approach is all about understanding your projects and needs thoroughly, leveraging our experience to think of everything so you don’t have to. Check out the services we offer below or browse through our entire portfolio to see what we can do for you.

Digital Typefaces, or digital fonts, are small, specialized computer programs containing drawings of glyphs in a particular harmonic style, mapped to an code point. They allow for setting text in one or more scripts, facilitating communication across people through time and space.

We’re all set to develop custom-made, high-quality digital typefaces that set your words just how you want them to be.

In every tortilla.studio font, there’s a careful balance of technical needs and a finely tuned personality that shines bright for all to see—or doesn’t. Or might even be variable and only fully come out when best appreciated.

Our team is proficient in the Latin script and provides careful support for all languages, with particular attention to indigenous American ones. We also have partnerships with native designers for developing Cyrillic, Indic, and almost any other scripts your project might need to support.

With technical and linguistic knowledge, combined with careful consideration of how and where fonts will be used, we ensure that every typeface we make is not only beautiful but also highly functional and sets just right, saving you time and frustrations.

Anything from a single-style font, a variable superfamily, a custom serif with highly technical requirements, or an expressive display colorfont: we can bring your typographic dreams into reality.

>> We also offer logotype and lettering design and consulting, following the same high quality standards as our fonts.

>> We can extend, revise, finish or update any typeface— licence and rights permitting.

Font engineering is the process of making sure all the bits of information inside a digital font file are correct and where they should be.

A font is not done until it is done. After the design process, mastering —or font engineering—comes in to ensure every glyph, kerning pair, and bit of data is correctly encoded and functions exactly as expected.

We work with industry-standard quality assurance tools and have the expertise to deliver fully compliant fonts with any special behavior for any media and environment.

We provide technical assistance and thoroughly tested production workflows to speed up, assist, or fully automate font mastering and engineering tasks. Our well-oiled processes and adherence to industry-standard best practices ensure high-quality results every time.

Whether you’re a graphic designer wanting to turn a typeface concept into a retail-ready family, or a type designer who prefers to focus on creative aspects, we’ve got your back. You can be as involved as you want, from full integration with your existing tools to letting us handle specific tasks like hinting, kerning, OpenType programming, quality assurance or even the whole engineering process.

Our team is dedicated to help you work better and faster, integrating seamlessly with your creative process or taking over the dirty work to ensure perfect fonts every time.

We’re here for you if:

You’ve drawn a beautiful font, but are intimidated by terms like “fontbakery”, “fontmake” or “opentype programming.

You do know what all that stuff is, but don’t want to be bothered with it all.

You’re comfortable with most things, but would like to make certain processes more enjoyable.
