Welcome to the TypeTogether time machine, where “What if” becomes “Check this out!” And to answer the question, “What if we reinterpreted stylised numerals from 60 years ago as a modern typeface?” is 2023 Gerard Unger Scholarship winner Patrycja Walczak.

We are proud to announce she has released Poltik as her first family, and it has a lot to offer. The two display styles are worthy of posters and storefront names in every way. The ten text styles play off the display with their reversed contrast, willing restraint in lighter styles, and boisterous attitude in heavier styles.

Cheeky, funky, and reliable on any screen or page, Poltik can cover the spectrum. But enough chit-chat. We’ve arrived at your retro destination and it’s time to feast your eyes on something worth its aesthetic weight in gold.

Beautifully designed by Tereza Bettinardi and edited by Linda Kudrnovská, this book maps ten years of the Gerard Unger Scholarship, which was founded to help young type designers complete and publish their typefaces professionally. It provides a comprehensive history of the scholarship, introduces the typefaces produced thus far, and features interviews with the scholarship recipients. Order your copy here. 

With the recent gold in the 2025 European Design Awards, our Playwrite type engine for handwriting education has won an impressive string of major international typography and design awards: Premios CLAP, the TDC award, gold at Joseph Binder, gold at ED-Awards, and the yellow pencil — the highest award and the only type design to be awarded this year — from Design & Art Director (D&AD) awards.
Playwrite is not just a font family, but a typeface engine that allows the creation and customisation of primary school fonts for every Latin-based country in the world. The fonts are one result of TypeTogether’s ongoing three-year research project, Primarium, which studies global handwriting instruction methodologies. Playwrite is available as a free download at the Google Fonts website.
We would like to thank the jurors of each award for their diligence and extend our congratulations to the other winners on a job well done. Congratulations!

Every five years we collate the typeface released within that time into a printed booklet to show off their details. This year was that year again, so grab your copy of our general catalogue highlighting 2019–2024,
