In 2009 Berlin-based type designer Ulrike Rausch founded her own type foundry called LiebeFonts, providing high-quality handwriting fonts with a charming personality and obsessive attention to detail. Ulrike combines her fondness for handwriting with her enthusiasm for code, sophisticated OpenType features, and latest font technology.
When Ulrike is not busy with her next font release, she enjoys teaching type design and font production at Universities or in online courses.
Together with letterer and writer Chris Campe, she wrote the book “Making Fonts!”, a comprehensive guide to type design and font production.
In 2020 Ulrike decided to hit the books again in order to get her Master’s degree at the University of the Arts in Berlin. She successfully graduated in September 2022 with a great deal new knowledge about machines and technologies that reproduce handwriting.
