Microsoft fonts from Tiro Typeworks

Since 1998, Tiro Typeworks has developed numerous typefaces for Microsoft Corporation, including award winning multilingual text types, groundbreaking complex display faces, and user-interface and branding fonts for major global writing systems. Beginning in the autumn of 2025, we are pleased to be able to offer select Microsoft fonts for licensing from Tiro Typeworks. These include typeface families that we have designed, as well as some for which we provided technical production to implement the work of other designers, notably Matthew Carter’s Sitka.

Read more about the first tranche of Microsoft fonts available from Tiro Typeworks in the online announcement, or visit the pages for the individual typeface families:

A tried and tested contemporary text type on classical proportions: ideal for long running texts and a favourirte for business communications, reports, and corporate branding.

A new companion design to Constantia, featuring narrower proportions, smaller x-height and lighter strokes, for use at larger sizes in titles and headlines. Use it harmoniously with Constantia, or contrastively with your favourite sans serif text face.

One of the most complex OpenType display fonts ever made: a magic box full of stylistic variants, ligatures, contextual forms, and dynamic ornamentation, somehow bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.

From legendary designer Matthew Carter, and produced for Microsoft by Tiro Typeworks: a 36-font family in six optical sizes, designed for legibility and tested in letter-recognition trials; also available as OpenType variable fonts.

John Hudson & Paul Hanslow’s lovely modulated humanist sans. Not sure what that means? Observe the contrast between thick and thin strokes, sheared terminals, open apertures, and generous proportions: ideal for text, document navigation elements, presentation labels, signage, and many other uses. [See also: Skeena Indigenous.]

Take the moderate stroke modulation of Skeena, and increase its dynamic range, and you have Skeena Display: the same body in a more dramatic outfit. Use it in sizes from subhead all the way up to posters and billboards.

The work of many hands, and one of the great workhorse text fonts of the past twenty years. Around a core design by Jelle Bosma, Tiro’s John Hudson and Ross Mills and other contributors developed broad Unicode coverage in Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Armenian scripts, plus the world’s first OpenType math font.

Check out all these and other Tiro Typeworks fonts on our website.
