about typoint
Typoint is a design studio focused on typographic design and strategic brand communication, founded by Patrick Marc Sommer.
We support companies, publishers and institutions in developing strong visual identities – with clarity, structure and a deep understanding of typographic systems and visual communication.
We see typography as a strategic tool. It shapes how content is perceived and provides the framework for clarity, credibility and character.
For each project, we assemble a dedicated team – supported by a trusted network of writers, developers, illustrators and researchers.
about Patrick Marc Sommer
Patrick’s passion for typography is evident in every project he works on. As a designer, consultant and founder of Typoint, he focuses on creating clear, thoughtful visual communication grounded in strong typographic principles.
He co-founded FURE – The Future of Reading, a conference that has explored the future of reading since 2017, and co-organises Ignite – Inspiration and New Ideas for Tomorrow’s Evolution, a Berlin-based talk series on design, culture and social change. In addition, he serves on the board of Creatives for Future.
Patrick shares his knowledge as co-author of the book »Das ABC der Typografie« and through articles published in design magazines such as Design made in Germany, Encore, Grafikmagazin and Novum.
His expertise has led to jury roles for Die Schönsten Deutschen Bücher, the Förderpreis für junge Buchgestaltung and the European Design Award. He has also been invited to give talks and lead workshops at the Creative Paper Conference, Forward Festival Munich, TYPO Berlin, the Apple Store Berlin, the Design Center Stuttgart, HTW Berlin and FH Münster.
When he’s not immersed in typography, you’ll likely find him in a kayak, on a climbing route or exploring the outdoors. These moments spark his curiosity and sharpen his eye for detail – and often inspire new perspectives on design.
