Hoefler & Co. (H&Co; stylized as Hoefler&Co.) is an American digital type foundry in Woburn, Massachusetts, founded by type designer Jonathan Hoefler. The company designs typefaces for clients and for retail on its website.
The company was founded in New York City in 1989, initially focusing on editorial commissions for publications such as The New York Times, Martha Stewart Living, The Wall Street Journal, Esquire, Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated, Harper's Bazaar, Wired and Condé Nast Portfolio, and commissions for companies such as Tiffany & Co., Nike, Inc., and Hewlett-Packard. It has worked with a number of prominent cultural institutions in New York City, including the headquarters of the United Nations, the Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum, Lever House, Radio City Music Hall, The Public Theater, and The New York Jets. Because of its inspiration from New York City history, its Gotham typeface was selected in 2004 for the cornerstone of One World Trade Center, built on the World Trade Center site.
Previously incorporated as The Hoefler Type Foundry (HTF), and then rebranded as Hoefler & Frere-Jones (H&FJ) in 2005.
In September 2021 Hoefler & Co. was sold to Monotype. The sale led to Monotype acquiring the intellectual property rights to the foundry’s entire library of typefaces, their website Typography.com, and entire staff, with exception of founder Jonathan Hoefler and CEO Carleen Borsella, who agreed to step aside as part of the deal.
