Now on the smallest displays. A font engine optimized for resource constrained environments. The Monotype Spark™ solution is designed for devices with small memory size, low CPU speed—or devices that just want memory freed up for other exciting features. Lower memory doesn’t have to mean low-quality, bitmap type. Spark helps smart watches, wearables, medical devices and automotive dashboards display a wider range of text without bloating the memory footprint. Get started Ready to get started with your embedded type transformation? Fill out our form and a member of our team will get back to you. Get started Revolutionize your project with low-memory scalable fonts. More languages. Larger character sets. Different font size. A lower-cost platform configuration. Go global Ditch the bitmap headaches and quickly expand to new markets with non-Latin character sets and advanced support. Stay competitive Rapidly adapt to new market environments and user demands. Save memory Maintain UI performance even on the most constrained devices. Reduce cost Although bitmaps may have a perceived cost-benefit, Spark can reduce expensive memory hardware changes, overall QA budget and time. All the performance in a smaller size With a code size on ARM of only 98 kb, and a runtime RAM footprint as low as 20 kb, nothing takes away from your other features. Screens for all markets Design high-quality dynamic user experiences for anything that has a screen, whether automotive, wearable, medical, or your innovative vision still on the drawing board. Our software has the tiniest of tanks and keeps text running like a dream. In resource constrained environments, the first place to turn to for text is often bitmap type. With the help of Spark, you no longer need to sacrifice text quality as our solution lets you execute dynamic, fully scalable fonts within your devices. Our global team of engineers is available to help compress large font files or link multiple languages in one font file and serve them more efficiently. Which means there’s no need to produce multiple language versions of the same product. Our Monotype Spark™ solution helps enable these services by delivering full-quality, scalable fonts with a run-time RAM footprint as low as 20kb. Learn more about memory efficiency solutions for international products. Font linking gives you just one font file to manage. Unlike the Freetype offering, instead of loading multiple font files or lumping all your languages in one heavy file, we link several files and serve them dynamically from the cloud. Font linking points your application to a reader file prioritized according to the languages most in-use in the region where your product is shipping. A car being shipped to Japan, for example, would first search and serve Japanese character sets, followed by Latin or Korean. If it was headed to Canada, it would first serve Latin characters followed by Arabic. With just one font file to manage, you can serve multiple languages with just a quarter of the memory space you’d need to load them individually. Related content. Expertise How fonts can help you win the technology race. As technology raises the stakes for brands, fonts can either level you up or hold you back. A simple, well-organized font system is essential to making sure you can keep pace. Typography Font Legibility Font licensing Creative collaboration Case studies One typeface, 93 languages for Sony.
