Established in 2010 by Alexander Nedelev and Veronika Slavova, Typedepot is an independent type design studio currently operating out of Sofia, Bulgaria.

Typedepot began in 2010, back when the two of us were still working as graphic designers at a digital agency in Sofia. Somewhere between briefs, deadlines, and everyday design work, we gradually found ourselves getting more and more interested in the shapes of letters themselves. No business plan. No five-year roadmap. Just two designers — Alexander and Veronika — curious about where this could lead.

Glide, our first typeface, didn’t even begin as “a typeface.” It was a logotype for a client. Then another person asked about it. And another. Eventually the question became predictable: “Is this a font? Can we use it?” So we turned it into one. And when that first $50 payout arrived sometime in 2010, we honestly stared at the screen for a minute. Someone out there had paid money for letters we drew. That was the moment we realized this hobby was quietly becoming… well, something real.

From there, Typedepot grew at its own pace. No rush. No hype. Just steady work. For more than 15 years now, we’ve been part of the Bulgarian design and typography world — making retail fonts and creating custom lettering for all sorts of brands, near and far. We don’t feel the need to drop names, but our work has travelled further than we ever did in those early agency days.

Between 2022 and 2026, life tapped us on the shoulder and we took a step back for a while. A pause. Not dramatic — just necessary. Now we’re back at the desk again, adding new work to the Typedepot portfolio and feeling a bit like we’ve restarted the engine after a long winter.

Our philosophy hasn’t changed much. We try to design type that simply… works. Clear. Considered. Nothing louder than it needs to be. Maybe that mindset comes from our graphic-design roots, or maybe it’s just what feels right to us. Either way, that same spark we felt when Glide earned its first $50 hasn’t really gone anywhere.

And we’re not done yet.
