Specimen of custom typeface for HashiCorp by XYZ Type

New for HashiCorp

We helped HashiCorp’s internal Brand Studio consolidate and refine its typographic palette with a new custom typeface. Working with the studio and with the help of Inga Plönnigs, we brought visual interest, developer flavor, and utility to a family used for product wordmarks, the lead typographic voice on their site, and more.

Specimen of Plumbago, a custom typeface for the Brand New Conference by XYZ Type

New for Brand New

This week, the Brand New Conference 2024 site launched, featuring a custom typeface we drew for it called Plumbago. Fitting to a monospaced grid and referencing lettering that Armin Vit and Bryony Gomez-Palacio found at the Pioneer Memorial Museum in Salt Lake City, Utah, the design is the signature element for this year’s conference.
