Hoefler & Co. (H&Co) is a type foundry in New York City run by type designer Jonathan Hoefler, which achieved its greatest fame while working with Tobias Frere-Jones under the name Hoefler & Frere-Jones from 1999 to 2014. H&Co develops fonts for both the retail market and for individual clients. Clients include The New York Times, The Guardian, The Sun, The Times, and Esquire.

The company was founded in 1989, and created original typefaces on commission for Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated, Harper's Bazaar and The New York Times. H&Co remains heavily involved in editorial design, with recent commissions from Martha Stewart Living, The Wall Street Journal, Esquire, Wired and Condé Nast Portfolio as well as corporate typefaces created for Tiffany & Co., Nike, Inc., and Hewlett Packard. It has worked with a number of prominent institutions in New York City, including the headquarters of the United Nations, the Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum, Lever House, Radio City Music Hall, and The New York Jets. Because of its connection to New York City history, its Gotham typeface was selected in 2004 for the cornerstone of One World Trade Center, to be built on the World Trade Center site.
