Monotype adds 24 styles to Inkwell, lifting the family 57%

WOBURN — November 13, 2026 -- Monotype Imaging Inc. has expanded its Inkwell handwriting type family with four new designs, adding 24 styles to the 42 that the seven original designs provide, an increase of about 57%. The family now totals 66 styles across 11 designs, by our calculation.

The additions are Inkwell Antique, Formal, Chancery and Ornaments. Antique draws on Victorian ornamented lettering. Formal reworks the engraver's script and uses contextual and position-specific characters to keep handwritten variation. Chancery follows Renaissance writing traditions, with swash capitals and contextual alternates. Ornaments covers emoji, illustrations, arrows, pointing hands, musical symbols, weather devices and cartographic elements.
