App Profile: Typify

There are 26 letters in the alphabet, a bazillion emoji, thousands of stock images, and an endless supply of your own library shots, but there is only one you.

The team at San Francisco-based brand identity firm ELIXIR partnered with PSY/OPS Type Foundry to enable anyone to create a font-based profile image for social when your smiling mug won’t do (or isn’t appropriate). Sometimes the smallest things are the hardest to do.

Small businesses, corporate teams, and shy but lovely people use Typify to create the perfect profile images for Twitter, Slack, Instagram, and other channels using fonts, colors, images, emoji, camera libraries, and that special something that makes you your own type of you.
