Numisma Type

Numisma Type Foundry is an independent type design studio exploring the visual language of historical inscriptions, coinage, engraving, and material culture. Our work transforms historical letterforms into contemporary digital typefaces while preserving the distinctive character of their original sources. We study inscriptions, engraved lettering, mint marks, and the irregularities created by hand tools, dies, metal, wear, and time. Our Roman Coin Type Collection is the foundation of this approach, with typefaces inspired by the epigraphic character of Roman imperial coinage, including Nero, Claudius, Domitian, and Vitellius. Future collections explore Byzantine, Greek, Slavic, and other historical lettering traditions. Numisma Type Foundry combines historical research, visual reconstruction, and modern technology to create distinctive typefaces for editorial design, branding, packaging, publishing, cultural institutions, digital products, and display typography. Ancient letters, reconstructed for contemporary design.
