Ascender Corporation was a digital typeface foundry and software development company in the Chicago suburb of Elk Grove Village, Illinois. It was founded in 2004 by a team of software developers, typographers, and people previously involved in developing fonts used widely in computers, inkjet printers, phones, and other digital technology devices. On December 8, 2010, Ascender Corp. was acquired by Monotype Imaging.

The company marketed both directly to consumers with font packs and individual fonts, and to original equipment manufacturers and software developers with custom font design and implementation. The company also extended font glyphs for international use and "hinted" (whereby characters are optimized for screen viewing).
