“Monotype’s business is solid, and in the second quarter, we saw another strong performance from Creative Professional,” said Scott Landers, president and chief executive officer of Monotype. “Brands are increasingly turning to us for help in addressing new design and marketing use cases. We believe that our ability to meet these new needs – through our current solutions and over time through those from Olapic – will continue to be a sustainable, long-term growth driver for the company.”

Joe Hill, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Monotype, said, “We remain encouraged by the continued traction within the Creative Professional business, which we believe is being positively impacted by the investments we’ve made over the past several years. These investments are allowing Monotype to add value for our customers to address multiple use cases within their organizations, which makes our offerings even more attractive to brands.”
