About Typeface

Typeface is the enterprise AI platform built for modern marketing teams.

We bring together your brand guidelines, AI agents, and enterprise-grade infrastructure so marketers can create, personalize, and activate campaigns at scale—without sacrificing brand consistency.

With Typeface, your brand becomes the foundation for content. The platform ingests your logos, fonts, colors, and tone of voice to ensure every asset—whether text, image, or video—feels authentically you. Your content library is automatically organized and searchable, making it easy to reuse what you have and generate what you need. A built-in brand agent evaluates content for governance and consistency, so every campaign is on-brand from the start.

Marketing workflows are reimagined with AI agents that plan, orchestrate, and execute campaigns across channels. A simple chat interface and visual canvas let teams create and refine content collaboratively, while connectors to email, web, and paid media tools streamline activation. Whether you’re building a campaign from scratch or optimizing an existing one, agents automate the heavy lifting so your teams can focus on creativity and strategy.

Enterprise readiness is at the core. Typeface is SOC II compliant, supports SSO, and offers cloud hosting options across major providers. We partner with leaders like Microsoft, Google, and Salesforce to integrate seamlessly into your stack. Security and governance are built in, with role-based access, isolated brand assets, and a responsible AI layer that ensures safe, high-quality outputs.

With Typeface, marketers get faster time to market, personalization at scale, and confidence that every piece of content is brand-safe, consistent, and impactful.
