Timeline

1970

Jonathan Hoefler (born 1970) is an American type designer.

Jonathan Hoefler was born on August 22, 1970, in New York City to Doreen Benjamin and Charles Hoefler, a theatrical set designer and producer.

Growing up, it was the Gill Sans text on boxes of custard that drew him to typography design.

1989

Hoefler founded the Hoefler Type Foundry in 1989, a type foundry in New York.

He is largely self-taught, and worked with magazine art director Roger Black prior to forming the Hoefler Type Foundry in 1989.

It was commissioned for Sports Illustrated shortly after founding the company in 1989.

1995

In 1995, Hoefler was named one of the forty most influential designers in America by I.D. magazine, and in 2002, the Association Typographique Internationale (ATypI) presented him with its most prestigious award, the Prix Charles Peignot for outstanding contributions to type design.

Hoefler's work is part of the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum's permanent collection.

1997

In 1997, his path crossed with type designer Tobias Frere-Jones when both were trying to purchase German type foundry catalogs.

1999

In 1999, Hoefler began working with Frere-Jones, and from 2005 to 2014 the company operated under the name Hoefler & Frere-Jones as a partnership.

Frere-Jones claimed that in 1999, Hoefler agreed to a verbal 50–50 partnership that was legally binding.

In light of the lawsuit, Hoefler changed the name back to Hoefler & Co claiming Frere-Jones had only been an employee, citing an agreement that they were not partners but "independent entities" and asked the court to dismiss the case.

Fans of the foundry were shocked by the news of the lawsuit.

2000

In 2000, the firm, under Frere-Jones' direction, designed its ubiquitous Gotham typeface for GQ magazine and received wide recognition for their work and in the last 20 years is one of the most successful typefaces.

Hoefler's process when designing typefaces begins with research into historical records and then utilize the programming language Python to automate repetitive tasks.

Their typefaces are systematic and logical and incorporate specific features based on their research.

Hoefler has designed original typefaces for Rolling Stone, Harper’s Bazaar, The New York Times Magazine, Sports Illustrated, and Esquire and several institutional clients, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and alternative band They Might Be Giants.

Perhaps his best-known work is the Hoefler Text family of typefaces, designed for Apple Computer and now appearing as part of the Macintosh operating system.

He also designed the current wordmark of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

2011

In 2011, the Museum of Modern Art acquired two of Hoefler's typefaces: Mercury, and HTF Didot.

2013

In 2013, Hoefler and Frere-Jones were awarded the AIGA Medal for "their contributions to the typographic landscape through impeccable craftsmanship, skilled historical reference and insightful vernacular considerations."

Jonathan Hoefler's typefaces include:

2014

In January 2014, Frere-Jones sued Hoefler for $20 million in the New York Supreme Court accusing him of scamming Frere-Jones.

A settlement was subsequently filed in September 2014.

On September 15, 2021, Monotype announced the acquisition of Hoefler & Co. and its font assets.

Jonathan Hoefler also announced his intention to retire from the company.

2019

Hoefler's Champion Gothic was inspired by 19th-century wood type.
