About the Foundry

A New Home for Type GLYPHAND is an independent type foundry founded by Joko Setiono, bringing together years of type design experience under one name. The journey began with typefaces released under JS Studio and later Arttype7, with work reaching designers and creative communities through various font platforms around the world. Over time, the collection grew alongside an evolving approach to letterforms, typography, and the details that make a typeface work. GLYPHAND is the next chapter of that journey.

 Today, those experiences and typefaces come together in one home at glyphand.com — a place to develop new families, revisit existing work, and build a growing library of typefaces with a clear and consistent identity. Some typefaces may still be found under the names JS Studio, Arttype7, or Joko Setiono across older releases and marketplace listings. They are part of the same creative journey that has led to GLYPHAND. Rather than leaving the past behind, GLYPHAND brings it forward — refined, renewed, and gathered under one name. 

 

Made for Ideas

Type is more than the shape of a letter. It sets the tone, carries a voice, and becomes part of how an idea is remembered. GLYPHAND creates typefaces for identities, brands, publications, packaging, and the many places where typography becomes part of the experience. Each release begins with the letterform, but its purpose is always beyond the letter itself: to give ideas a lasting impression.
