Patrick Marc Sommer is the strategic head of Typoint. He previously co-directed the design studio Langesommer for five years. Over many years, he formed partnerships with personalities who are now embarking on new projects together.
Supported by a well-established network of copywriters, illustrators and developers, an individual team is created for each project that is precisely tailored to your requirements.
We value a functional design approach that gets to the heart of the message and pursues a clear strategy.
We always keep our finger on the pulse and continuously expand our knowledge in order to offer you the best quality. Our passion does not end with design. Since 2017, our design conference “FURE – The Future of Reading” has been dedicated to the fascinating world of reading in the future. Every year, we bring together speakers from various disciplines to present their current perspectives to around 250 participants and encourage discussion.
Patrick is co-organizer of the talk series “Ignite – Inspiration and New Ideas for Tomorrow's Evolution”, which deals with future and social issues. In our column in the graphics magazine “Zukunft Gestalten”, we shed light on the fascinating connection between design and future trends.
As co-author of the book “The ABC of Typography” (the book is unfortunately in german), Patrick shares his extensive knowledge of the basics of typography and is also on the board of “Creatives for Futures”.
We worked for the following companies, among others:
We moderated the FURE conference in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2023. In 2018, we curated lectures at the Forward Festival Munich and led workshops at TYPO Berlin on “Typestories”, “Braille”, “Book Cover Design” and “Hebrew Calligraphy”. We also gave talks at the Creative Paper Conference and the Apple Store Berlin, among others.
Patrick had the honor to be a member of the jury for: Die Schönsten Deutschen Bücher, Förderpreis für junge Buchgestaltung and European Design Award.
