Lettersoup [Botio Nikoltchev]








Lettersoup is an independent type foundry based in Berlin, Germany.

It was founded by Botio Nikoltchev in 2014. The main focus of lettersoup

is cooking fonts with Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and Arabic taste.







Botio Nikoltchev was born in Sofia March 29, 1978. Growing up in the

fields of Bulgaria, he once found a little brick of dry clay shaped like

the city map of Berlin. Taking it as a sign he took all he had — which

wasn’t much but heavy. Botio went all the way to the promised town, the

place to be: Berlin! And one step further: He studied communication design

at the University of Applied Science Potsdam and took type design classes

with Luc(as) de Groot. After his studies Botio worked with Ole Schäfer

(primetype) on the Cyrillic characters of PTL Manual, PTL Manual Mono and

PTL Notes. Since 2010 he has been collaborating with Ralph du Carrois and

Erik Spiekermann as type designer and art director at Carrois Type Design,

focusing on Cyrillic, Greek and Arabic language extensions and CI projects.

In 2014, Botio founded his own type foundry lettersoup.
