Ascender Corporation specializes in font design, development and licensing. Ascender is comprised of veterans of the type industry who have worked at Monotype, Apple, and other publishing industry leaders. The team at Ascender Corporation developed Arial, Times New Roman, Tahoma, Verdana and many of the other fonts that Microsoft ships in Windows and Office. We now offer all these fonts under license from Microsoft for immediate download.

Ascender also provides multilingual, custom font development for corporations and software & hardware developers.

The Ascender team brings its clients a wide range of talent, expertise, imagination and initiative. We share a passion for type and typographic problem solving and have extensive knowledge of software engineering, Unicode® and world language support.
