Harald Geisler

Harald Geisler Foundry is the creative atelier of typographic artist Harald Geisler, located in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Geisler is renowned for his innovative and conceptual approach to typography, blending art, history, and personal storytelling to create unique typefaces that challenge the boundaries of conventional design.\n \n••••••Geisler’s work gained international recognition in 2010 with the release of the foundry’s first typeface, Ciseaux Matisse. This font was inspired by an exhibition of Henri Matisse’s technique of “drawing with scissors,” capturing the fluidity and movement of Matisse’s paper cut-outs.••••••One of Geisler’s most notable projects is the Sigmund Freud Typeface, developed in collaboration with the Freud Museum in London and the Sigmund Freud Museum in Vienna. This typeface meticulously transforms Freud’s handwritten letters into a digital font, offering users an intimate connection to the iconic psychoanalyst’s handwriting style.••••••Geisler’s Conspired Lovers typeface is another example of his unique approach to type design. Drawing inspiration from his own love letters, this font captures the emotional intensity and spontaneity of handwritten correspondence, making each character feel personal and heartfelt.••••••In 2013, Geisler embarked on an ambitious project to recreate Albert Einstein's handwriting digitally. He developed the Albert Einstein Font through a successful Kickstarter campaign, bringing the physicist’s distinctive penmanship into the digital age. The project, supported by over 2,500 backers, demonstrates Geisler’s ability to blend historical significance with contemporary digital tools.••••••Currently, Geisler is reviewing his font collection on display at MyFonts, continually refining and expanding his offerings.
