Identity Letters

Identity Letters
Identity Letters is a boutique type foundry based in Germany, close to the Dutch border—an ideal place for a straightforward type business. It’s fueled by the cosmopolitan spirit of the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region, close to the cities of Cologne and Düsseldorf, and informed by a rich cultural history whose traces are ubiquitous in the area. Here we work hard to provide businesses and creatives anywhere in the world with powerful, precisely crafted fonts that get across the right message. Our credo: Typography is not just words. It’s identity. That’s where our mission starts: we create the fonts that suit your type.
Moritz Kleinsorge
Sometimes, you’d think Moritz was born to be a type designer. In fact, he loves structuring and organizing not only lettershapes but almost anything in his surroundings—the term “Total Design” comes to mind, coined by the late Wim Crouwel. A trained graphic designer always on the lookout for tools that support his design approach, Moritz knows what a typeface needs to be a true asset in demanding editorial and branding projects. With a keen eye for detail and a knack for the history of type, he’s the kind of down-to-earth creator who prefers realizing over theorizing. You’ll quickly find him in the type lab as soon as there’s an opportunity to explore the connection between the time-tested truths of typography and state of the art font technology.
Moritz graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in graphic design from Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences and completed an MA in communication design at Peter Behrens School of Arts, Düsseldorf, as well as an Expert Class Type Design postgraduate diploma at Plantin Institute for Typography, Antwerp, in 2018.
