Blaze Type celebrates 10th anniversary with redesigned website and font pairing tool

digital · 2026-04-22

Blaze Type marks its 10th anniversary in 2026 with a comprehensive website redesign focused on improving user experience. Founded in 2016 by Matthieu Salvaggio without formal type design training, the foundry has grown from three initial typefaces to over 100 type families. The new website addresses previous performance issues and introduces a font pairing tool, with additional mini-websites planned for later in 2026. Salvaggio emphasizes that type design is perpetual work, with constant opportunities for upgrades and expansions. The foundry has created custom work for major brands including H&M, GF Smith, and BVB Borussia Dortmund. Blaze Type now positions itself as an established player in the typographic industry, aiming to platform emerging creatives through its experience and craftsmanship. The website update includes hidden easter eggs for upcoming releases and maintains a monthly article publication schedule. Salvaggio reflects that the company's growth resulted from following instinct rather than a master plan, learning through hands-on experience.
