Research at MacPaw
Design

Fixel Font by MacPaw is a new basic, variable and accessible typeface, created in cooperation with talented Ukrainian typographers from AlfaBravo design studio and foundry.

With Fixel Font, designers can create effective and timeless visual content for any environment. The font includes extended Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, covering over 40 languages. To support design communities, MacPaw made Fixel completely free for any use. 

Fixel Font preserves the history of the unique Ukrainian graphic culture. Among Fixel’s alternate symbols is the «tryzub,» the seal-trident of Volodymyr the Great and part of the Ukrainian coat of arms. Fixel’s «tryzub» was developed by the outstanding Ukrainian painter and graphic artist Nil Khasevych in 1949.

The font was inspired by the personality and looks of one of MacPaw’s pets — Fixel, the cat.

MIT Collaboration

MacPaw and MIT Collaboration

In the summer of 2024, MacPaw concluded its first internship program with MIT's International Science and Technology Initiatives (MISTI) as part of the MIT-Ukraine Program. We welcomed two MIT interns to aid in optimizing software updates. Over 2.5 months, the interns conducted research, organized data, and trained models to improve MacPaw's update processes, fully integrating into the company's workflow. Following the success of this collaboration, MacPaw is exploring opportunities to deepen its relationship with MIT. The company remains committed to fostering the next generation of technology innovators and furthering its connections with interns and the higher education ecosystem, both in the US, Ukraine, and globally.
