Typeface Inc. is an enterprise software company that builds an AI platform for marketing teams to generate, review, and publish brand-specific content and campaigns at scale. The company was founded in 2022 by Abhay Parasnis, formerly chief product and technology officer at Adobe, together with co-founder Tran Anh, and is headquartered in San Francisco. Typeface emerged from stealth in February 2023, positioning its technology as a way for large enterprises to apply generative AI to marketing while keeping output aligned with brand guidelines.
The platform, marketed under the Arc name, pairs a brand-and-audience knowledge layer called Arc Graph with specialized marketing agents (Arc Agents), collaborative workspaces for planning and approvals (Arc Spaces), and tooling to build custom agents (Arc Forge). Typeface integrates with Microsoft Azure OpenAI, Google Cloud, and Salesforce, and ships connectors for enterprise marketing stacks. Its customer base includes Asics, Johnson Controls, Sally Beauty, Procter & Gamble, AB InBev, State Farm, and Cognizant, and it counts Microsoft, Google Cloud, and Salesforce as both partners and investors.
Typeface raised a $65 million Series A led by Lightspeed Venture Partners in February 2023, followed four months later by a $100 million Series B led by Salesforce Ventures that valued the company at $1 billion and brought total funding to roughly $165 million. Other backers include Google Ventures, Microsoft's M12, Menlo Ventures, and Madrona. Abhay Parasnis serves as chief executive officer, and the company employed an estimated 250 to 300 people as of 2026.
