AJW Type

AJW Type is a type foundry based in Colorado, established in 2026 by Alexander J. Werdmuller von Elgg. The foundry's work focuses on revival type — drawing from printed specimens of the turn of the twentieth century and the mid-century period. Each family is developed with close attention to the drawing character of its source material: the expressive particularities of the original letterforms, their spacing relationships, and the structural logic that gives a specimen its visual personality. The production process at AJW Type is methodical. Research into historical specimens precedes drawing; vector work, sidebearings, and kerning are developed in sequence, with each stage examined before the next begins. Language support is a standing commitment across all families, extending the reach of each typeface beyond its historical origins and into contemporary multilingual use. The foundry's work spans the full pipeline — from the drawn letterform to the production font file.
