Empowering creativity with an intuitive design platform
Kittl provides the functional efficiency designers need to make professional quality work with complete creative freedom from beginning to end.
Our story
It all started with typography.
Much like good design itself, Kittl’s story starts with typography.
Co-Founder Tobias Saul made a name for himself as a celebrated lettering artist, type designer, and illustrator, working with prestigious clients including Ogilvy and BBDO. Seeing the demand for high-quality hand-drawn typography, Saul teamed up with school friend and entrepreneur Nicolas Heymann to create Heritage Type Co., a vintage font marketplace that quickly gained traction in the design community.
Heritage Type customers loved purchasing unique fonts and frequently asked for the ability to edit fonts on demand. That’s how Heritage Designer was born – Nico and Tobi’s intuitive editing platform that helped users edit fonts and other graphic elements without advanced design skills. The platform attracted over 10,000 users shortly after its release, which highlighted the potential for the tool to serve a wider audience.
Recognizing this broader appeal, Tobi and Nico transformed Heritage Designer into Kittl, a fully fledged graphic design platform that facilitates visionary design through highly functional and efficient tools. Designers of every level create and deliver professional quality work with confidence on Kittl every day. In fact, over 5 million users worldwide trust Kittl to turn their inspiration into creation, frequently citing Kittl’s intuitive editing experience and growing library of assets and tools as their favorite benefits.
Since the transformation in 2022, Kittl has grown rapidly, with over 120 employees and over $45 million in funding. Kittl is on a mission to become the default choice for graphic designers – a single platform where designers can create, share with stakeholders, and work together to produce professional quality design, no matter their level or use case.
