TEKIO is an independent type foundry making high-quality retail & custom typefaces. We offer licenses for our fonts as well as tailored projects for brands and organizations. Founded in 2021 in Warsaw by Jan Estrada-Osmycki, graphic and type designer with a background in music and visual arts, TEKIO is a home for creations focused around typography, sound, and vision.

Simple, all-in-one licenses

We know licenses cause headaches; we’ve been there. And we do our best to simplify our licensing system so you do not have to worry about hidden costs or the risk of infringement. There is only one license type, and our fonts come in all formats for use in print, web, and apps. The price of the license depends on the size of the organization (number of employees) that will use our fonts in its communication or products. That means there is no need to purchase a second license for the design studio or freelance graphic designer.
