Custom Typefaces

Background

GoTo, Indonesia’s leading digital ecosystem formed by the merger of Gojek and Tokopedia, needed a typeface that could unify its brand across a wide range of platforms and applications. As the foundation of a tech-driven company operating at massive scale, the typography had to reflect both modernity and reliability. To meet this need, Future Creative Network and OU Creative commissioned the creation of GoTo Sans—a custom typeface designed to embody GoTo’s dynamic, forward-looking identity.

Brief

The challenge was to create a sans serif typeface that felt distinctly digital, yet remained highly practical across all brand materials. GoTo Sans needed to score high on readability while maintaining a strong visual personality. It had to work seamlessly in mobile apps, websites, advertising, and printed collateral, ensuring consistency wherever the brand appeared. Beyond functionality, the typeface had to represent the energy, connectivity, and ambition that define GoTo’s role at the heart of Indonesia’s digital economy.

Delivery

GoTo Sans was developed as a modern, clean sans serif with distinctive letterforms inspired by the textures and pace of digital technology. Its construction prioritizes clarity, allowing it to perform across diverse media without losing character or impact. The typeface achieves a strong balance between form and function, offering a wide range of weights that cover the full spectrum of usage needs, from interface microcopy to bold headline applications.

Designed with precision to enhance legibility at both small and large sizes, GoTo Sans creates a consistent visual rhythm that strengthens brand recognition. Whether viewed on a mobile screen or across a billboard, the typeface holds its shape and presence, reinforcing GoTo’s image as an accessible, innovative, and trustworthy leader in the digital space.

Traveloka

BackgroundAs a part of brand refreshment, Traveloka aimed to blend the inclusivity and distinctiveness in visual identity, yet aspirational but approachable, and a vibrancy of trust. To support this vision, the Godwit family was introduced as a custom geometric sans serif typeface—designed to reflect these values across all communication platforms. BriefThe goal was to design a versatile type family that could serve the wide-ranging needs of Traveloka’s brand—from bold headlines to detailed body text—while maintaining a consistent and recognizable character. Godwit needed to strike a delicate balance between modernity and warmth, offering a unique visual voice without sacrificing functionality or clarity. The design would need to extend across multiple sub-families, ensuring consistency in Latin and Thai scripts and across a variety of uses, from digital screens to out-of-home advertising.DeliveryGodwit Family was developed as a systematized, sophisticated type family built around key distinctive features. The exaggerated upper and lower proportions in certain letters, combined with unique cut-out tips in forms like 'W' and 'M,' give Godwit a memorable and energetic personality without overwhelming the reading experience. These subtle details were consistently applied across the family, ensuring a coherent visual tone at every touchpoint.The family is divided into three sub-categories: Godwit Display, Godwit Text, and Godwit Thai. Godwit Display retains the distinctiveness of the family and is optimized for large formats such as outdoor advertising, presentation decks, and headlines. Godwit Text adapts the same visual DNA but is fine-tuned for readability at smaller sizes, making it suitable for body copy, editorial content, and user interfaces. Expanding Traveloka’s linguistic capabilities, Godwit Thai was designed with direct reference to the Text sub-family, creating a seamless extension into Thai-script environments and reinforcing Traveloka’s presence across Southeast Asia.The result is a dynamic, biscriptual type system that supports Traveloka’s refreshed identity—making the brand feel more unified, accessible, and confidently modern across every communication channel.

Gopay

BackgroundAs one of Indonesia’s most widely used digital payment services, Gopay sought to evolve its visual identity to match its expanding role in everyday life. To achieve a deeper level of brand coherence and flexibility, Gopay introduced Rupa Sans and Rupa Serif, a pair of custom typefaces designed to bring a richer typographic voice to the brand’s communication. These typefaces were created to strengthen Gopay’s presence across digital, print, and environmental platforms, while staying true to the brand’s approachable and contemporary spirit.BriefThe task was to create a type system that offered both versatility and character. Gopay needed a sans-serif and a serif that could work individually or together, providing visual harmony across a broad range of applications. The design had to reflect a modern aesthetic while maintaining a human touch, connecting the brand to its audience with authenticity and warmth. The inspiration drew heavily from the twists and subtleties found in vernacular typographic traditions, aiming to create fonts that felt fresh and forward-looking without losing a sense of cultural continuity.DeliveryRupa Sans and Rupa Serif were developed as a sophisticated dual-font family, offering a complete typographic toolkit for Gopay’s growing ecosystem. Rupa Sans embodies a clean, modern structure with subtle details that reference traditional letterforms, ensuring it remains accessible and friendly. Rupa Serif, while more expressive, is crafted with the same underlying principles, blending classic serif influences with contemporary proportions to create a seamless pairing.The result is a system that allows Gopay to move fluidly between different tones of voice—from casual and direct to elegant and formal—without breaking visual consistency. The relationship between the two typefaces captures a unique balance: modern forms layered with nuanced echoes of the past. Across the Gopay design system, Rupa Sans and Rupa Serif work together to reinforce the brand’s identity as dynamic, trustworthy, and culturally grounded, ready to serve users at every level of interaction.
