Sharp Type was founded in 2015 in New York by Lucas Sharp and Chantra Malee. The studio then lived in Granada, Madrid and San Francisco, before settling in 2025 in Newport, in the United States.

Positioning
Sharp Type creates typefaces that claim their historical awareness while remaining resolutely original. The studio works as much for its catalog as for major brands.
Catalog
A catalog of sans serifs, serifs and display typefaces, including several multi-script families.
Signature typefaces
Sharp Grotesk, Sharp Sans, Ogg, Beatrice and Ghost. The studio has worked for Samsung, Dropbox, the BBC and Condé Nast.
