Juliasys Type Studio’s center of gravity is just beside the Kulturbrauerei in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg. What are we doing there? Hard working in type & identity design, always with a pinch of humour. We create fonts, icons and complete visual identities, do custom and retail projects, and work with partners in different countries. We publish fonts and icons for our own library or develop them directly for clients. Some of our custom design clients are Beiersdorf Hamburg, Bosch Stuttgart, Freshbooks Toronto, Monotype Germany, Mars and Waitrose London, Remes & Packart Helsinki and Harpers Publishers New York. Widely known are our true-to-life script fonts of the handwriting of authors and artists - such as Franz Kafka, Emily Dickinson, Laura Ingalls Wilder and Jean Sibelius.
