Ligature Type is a collaborative type & typography studio based in Berlin. We produce high quality retail and custom typefaces that go beyond style. What we really want to do is to convey a story or an atmosphere, to amplify ideas and make them visual. At the same time, our fonts live up to all you expect from a modern font, in technical and other regards. Our curiosity pushes us to ask extra questions, leading to specific solutions.
