ABOUT

Identity Letters [Moritz Kleinsorge]

Moritz Kleinsorge (Düsseldorf, Germany) studied at Rhine-Waal University. He attended the Expert Class Type Design in Antwerp and completed his Master in Communication Design at Peter Behrens School of Art in Düsseldorf. After graduating, he was mentored by Pilar Cano from LetterJuice via the Alphabettes mentorship program while developing his first retail font, Bw James (2017, Branding With Type), a 14-style sans typeface family that introduces many elements from handwriting and features subdued ball terminals.

In 2018, he designed the geometric typeface Flink, the Peignotian typeface Bw Vivant (with Alberto Romanos), the fresh grotesque typeface Klainy, and the humanistic "upright italic" sans typeface Campuni.

Typefaces from 2019: Faible (a soft and friendly sans), Kisba (a wedge serif workhorse).

Typefaces from 2020: Compiler (a 32-font family that consists of 16 sans styles and 16 proportionally spaced typewriter or programming styles), Leifa (a flared serif in 16 styles), Glance Slab (an almost stencil style), Allrounder, Allrounder Antiqua (Granjon inspired) and Allrounder Monument (inspired by ancient inscriptions on columns, monuments and buildings in Rome), Allrounder Grotesk (from a hairline Air weight up to a strong Black).

Typefaces from 2021: Baghira (an 8-style text family with sharp teeth by Christian Gruber and Moritz Kleinsorge), Kisba Nova (a wedge serif), Werksatz (a 20-style family inspired by early grotesque typefaces such as Akzidenz Grotesk and Venus, this evergreen grotesque ages like fine wine), Werkdruck (a Scotch roman), Glance Sans (14 styles; a sans that tries to decide if it wants to be a stencil font).
