Dalton Maag started in London in 1991 and built its reputation on careful type craft and big brand commissions. The studio still prioritizes custom font work and brings real production muscle to bespoke projects. That history shows up in the way Dalton Maag thinks about letterforms, spacing and script support, and it explains why big brands trust the studio for serious typographic voices.

These days the retail library is equally compelling. Dalton Maag offers robust UI families, expressive display sets, and strong multilingual support so type behaves across products, campaigns and global markets. The free trial is useful — test a face in real layouts and judge weight, spacing and legibility at scale before committing. Families come with sensible weights, italics, variable axes and production-ready features that cut down on last-minute fixes.

Custom commissions remain a core strength, but most teams will find the off-the-shelf families solve the brief faster. Dalton Maag balances bespoke craftsmanship with practical retail options, so whether the need is a tailored corporate typeface or a production-ready family for a product, the studio covers both bases without the usual guesswork.
