type design, mastering and font production

I design, master, and produce high-quality (multiscript) typefaces, combining visual consistency with linguistic standards and cultural accuracy. With foundational experience at Dalton Maag and Monotype Studio, I support type foundries, creative agencies and brands build bespoke, globally-aware typographic solutions.

Based in Berlin, I have been working independently since 2019. I am also an active member of the Alphabettes and Type Crit Crew networks.
