Fonts for Telematics

Monotype Imaging has experience assisting companies with selecting, tuning, and licensing fonts for complex display systems. We have worked with developers to establish a set of fonts optimized for telematic devices in both automobiles and aircrafts. Some well-known telematic devices we've developed fonts for:

Heads-up displays (HUD) - Monotype Imaging can develop fonts that are highly legible on both fixed heads-up displays (HUD) and helmet mounted displays (HMD).

Global positioning systems (GPS) - Our font experts understand that every GPS device and navigation display system has unique font requirements. We have developed fonts that are both legible on small screens, and very user-friendly.

Entertainment display systems- The Monotype Imaging team can work with your engineers to develop highly legible fonts for vehicle entertainment systems, like on-board CD and DVD players.

On top of these display systems, Monotype Imaging can also develop fonts for other telematic systems: vehicle warning systems, safety communication systems and automatic driving assistance systems.

We have a variety of font solutions for telematic devices:

  • User Interface fonts - Monotype Imaging has developed UI fonts that are designed for on-screen legibility on complex display systems.
  • Multilingual fonts - Monotype Imaging is an expert in creating Unicode-compliant multilingual fonts and has an extensive font catalog with non-Latin fonts to provide device manufacturers with 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 desire high quality fonts proven to be highly legible.

For telematic displays, 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 high quality fonts optimized for telematic devices. We also offer a custom font solution if you'd like to tailor or develop a font to fit your needs.
