Jonathan Hoefler (born August 22 1970cite news | url = http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/19/nyregion/19profile.html | title = 2 Type Designers, Joining Forces and Faces | last = Dunlap | first = David W | date = October 19 2004 | accessdate = 2007-10-17 | work = The New York Times] ) is an American typeface designer. Hoefler (pronounced “Heffler”) founded Hoefler & Frere-Jones (originally The Hoefler Type Foundry, established 1989), a type foundry in New York that Hoefler shares with fellow type designer Tobias Frere-Jones.

Hoefler has designed original typefaces for "Rolling Stone Magazine", "Harper’s Bazaar", "The New York Times Magazine", "Sports Illustrated", and "Esquire" and several institutional clients, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and alternative band They Might Be Giants. Perhaps his best-known work is the Hoefler Text family of typefaces, designed for Apple Computer and now appearing as part of the Macintosh operating system.

In 1995, Hoefler was named one of the forty most influential designers in America by "I.D." magazine, [“The I.D. Forty,” "I.D." magazine, Jan/Feb 1995.] , and in 2002, the Association Typographique Internationale (ATypI) presented him with its most prestigious award, the Prix Charles Peignot for outstanding contributions to type design. Hoefler and Frere-Jones have been profiled in "The New York Times", "Time Magazine", [cite web | url = http://www.time.com/time/innovators/design/profile_hoefler.html | title = Way Beyond the Basic ABCs | last = Casey | first = Susan | accessdate = 2007-10-17 | work = Time] and "Esquire Magazine", [“Letters from the Street: Agents of Influence,” "Esquire" magazine, "The Genius Issue", December 2005. [http://www.mywire.com/pubs/Esquire/2005/12/01/1078553 Text online] ] and appearances on National Public Radio and CBS Sunday Morning.

Hoefler's work is part of the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum's permanent collection. [cite web | url = http://www.typography.com/about/biographies.php | title = Biographies | publisher = Hoefler & Frere-Jones | accessdate = 2007-10-17]
