Font & type engineering
Complex-script shaping
OpenType layout and script logic for joining, reordering, positioning, and language-specific forms.
The challenge
Glyph coverage can be complete while words remain unreadable. Complex scripts depend on shaping behavior that must match orthography, font technology, and the rendering stack.
Our engineers and script specialists diagnose failures at the sequence, feature, lookup, and renderer level. The fix is tested with meaningful words and difficult combinations.
We can repair an existing implementation or design shaping behavior as part of a new font program.
How we work
Evidence first. Decisions visible. Knowledge transferred.
We adapt the depth and sequence to your product stage, language scope, and internal team.
Trace the behavior
Inspect character sequences, clusters, lookups, marks, substitutions, positions, and renderer differences.
Implement and regress
Correct the font logic, validate across engines, and preserve failures as automated test cases.
Typical outputs
What your team can use.
- Shaping diagnosis with reproducible cases
- Corrected OpenType layout implementation
- Cross-renderer comparison results
- Language-specific shaping regression suite
