Episode Details

Episode 26 of Brand Storytelling with Fexingo explores how a single typeface — Helvetica — became the unexpected foundation of a billion-dollar brand. Lucas and Luna unpack the story of Monotype Imaging, the company behind Helvetica and thousands of other fonts, and how it turned a seemingly commoditized product into a licensing empire. They discuss Monotype's pivot from physical type to digital fonts, the psychology of brand typography, and how companies like Apple, IBM, and The New York Times pay millions to use custom fonts. Plus, the hosts reflect on why Monotype's story is a masterclass in storytelling around an invisible ingredient — and a reminder that the most powerful brand assets are often the ones you don't see.
