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.

XLSMART

BackgroundThe landscape of Indonesian telecommunications underwent a historic shift with the merger of two industry leading: XL Axiata and Smartfren. This was not merely a technical consolidation of networks; it was the birth of XLSMART, a brand designed to be a movement of synergy and empowerment.To anchor this new identity, XLSMART required a bespoke typographic system that could transition the brand from a traditional service provider to a human-centric leader in Indonesia’s digital era. The typeface needed to embody the brand’s core philosophy: Innovation with Heart.BriefThe primary challenge was to define a typographic voice for a telco brand that leads through empathy and collaboration. The brief called for a modern geometric sans serif that could reflect precision and empathy in equal measure. This typeface had to be built for absolute clarity across data-driven environments, balancing functional simplicity with a sense of subtle warmth. Strategically, the goal was to shift the narrative away from signal strength or speed toward a more human-centered vision of inclusion and progress. The resulting font needed to be versatile enough to empower a nation while remaining rooted in the technical excellence required for a modern digital infrastructure.DeliveryTokotype delivered XLSMART Sans, a modern geometric typeface family that serves as the visual cornerstone of the brand’s digital and physical presence.

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.
