About Us
Nova Type Foundry is an independent type studio established in 2018 by Joana Correia in Portugal.
We design original typefaces with a distinct point of view—letterforms that surprise, delight, and give voice to bold creative work. Each font is crafted with meticulous attention to both creative vision and technical excellence, from initial sketches to final production.
Our fonts are used worldwide by designers working in branding, packaging, and editorial design who demand typefaces with personality, precision, and flawless technical quality. We believe the best typography balances craft with character, bringing unexpected creative possibilities while performing beautifully in every context.
Joana Correia has been designing type since 2011, shaping letterforms with the eye of an architect and the rigor of a producer. In 2018, Joana founded Nova Type Foundry to publish original families that balance craft and character across Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek. Today, she leads the library with a curator’s sensibility and a maker’s discipline—guiding each release from sketch to production with precise spacing, kerning, and testing, crafting distinctive typefaces with precision and care.
