What could be added to the Teddy family to give it a stronger aura of usability and fun? How about a set of dingbats / icons / pictures in a compatible style? We immediately thought of Berlin-based illustrator Bea Davies. She is a stylistic chameleon, and quite resourceful when it comes to thinking solution-oriented; there was little doubt that she would skilfully adapt the unique shapes of Teddy to a striking and useful set of picture glyphs. Bea liked the style and charisma of Minjoo's Teddy, and soon started to hand in witty Illustrator drawings. Once the set had reached a respectable quantity, Minjoo and Andreas Seidel produced the font, making sure that icons that were registered as Unicode glyphs were assigned to the right slot.

Conceived around the main themes of food, travel and tourism, the first Teddings font is fully functional and pretty useful as it is. Hopefully, we can add a few more specialized fonts in the future: more complete travel and office sets, emoticons – the possibilities are practically endless!
