The words Granola & Cereal in the new custom typeface for WK Kellogg Co. by XYZ Type

Thinking outside the cereal box

We’ve carried the heritage of the iconic Kellogg’s logo into a full-blown custom typeface for WK Kellogg Co. Under the guidance of their in-house team and leading critical issues firm Brunswick, we collaborated with Plau to create a proprietary typeface that draws upon the deep history of a celebrated brand.

New paint and rewiring at xyztype.com

We’ve tightened up our website thanks to the skillful development by our long-time collaborator GrayBits and a fresh design perspective from our new friend Vance Wellenstein. Our redesigned landing page provides a warm welcome, and the restructured checkout makes getting your hands on our fonts easier. Can you spot what else changed?

We usually don’t send many emails, but watch for some long-awaited news next month. (No, we are not selling to Monotype!)
