Fonts for Medical Devices and Diagnostic Instruments

Monotype Imaging is well-versed in selecting, tuning, and licensing fonts that are optimized for on-screen readability. Our expertise in font software engineering is well-established and comes from years of perfecting and optimizing fonts for a variety of on-screen environments. 

Surgical monitors, medical pumps, medical diagnostic instruments, and all other medical devices require high quality fonts for proper on-screen viewing.

Monotype Imaging's font experts understand that every medical device and application may have unique font requirements. We work with developers to establish a set of fonts that are highly legible and readable. 

Monotype Imaging has a variety of font solutions for medical devices, monitors, and diagnostic equipment:

• User Interface fonts - Monotype Imaging has developed UI fonts that are designed for on-screen legibility and optimized for reading on screen.
• Multilingual fonts - Monotype Imaging is an expert in creating Unicode-compliant multilingual fonts and has an extensive non-Latin font catalog to provide support for world-wide markets.
• Microsoft fonts - Monotype Imaging can offer a license to most of the fonts in Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office for devices that require high quality fonts proven to be highly legible. 

Monotype Imaging fonts are optimized for legibility on both small screen self-check devices like insulin and glucose meters, and more complex systems like defibrillators and cardiac monitors.

For medical devices and diagnostic instruments, the Monotype Imaging team can help recommend and evaluate various font styles. Steve Matteson, Monotype Imaging's Type Director, can consult with your team members - including UI designers, software engineers, and product & marketing managers - to provide a set of reading fonts optimized for your medical device or medical monitor. Monotype Imaging also offers a custom font option if you would like to develop a font to meet your specific needs.
