Do you offer trial fonts?

While offering trial fonts is common practice among type foundries of all sizes, our experience over two years showed that this policy created more challenges than benefits for our small operation. As of 2024, we have discontinued offering trial fonts.

I'm a student, and I want to use your retail typefaces for my school projects, do you offer student license?

We don't offer student licenses. 
We encourage students to explore open-source alternatives and if you're struggling to find things, here's a curated list worth checking out. :)

I was wondering if your type design workshop (e.g. ITYT) is open to the public, or is it only taking place within a school setting?

I do collective type design workshops upon request, which so far have mostly come from schools or institutions. I’d love to run them more publicly so that anyone can join, but at the moment that’s not really feasible without funding support — covering costs like space rental, materials, communication, and of course, my own time and labor. I’ve actually applied for funding three times without success, so I’m currently taking a break from that process.

That said, you’re more than welcome to invite me to do a workshop, I’m always open to new collaborations!

I have questions about licensing, who can I reach out?

You can reach [info@notyourtype.nl], say hi to Xiaoyuan. 

Which languages can you use for email communication?

English and Mandarin, both written and spoken. 英文中文都可以。
