Typoint is a design studio focused on typography, founded by Patrick Marc Sommer.
We help companies, publishers, and institutions communicate with greater clarity and consistency.
Our work combines typeface strategy, typographic systems, and design execution.
The goal is communication that not only looks good, but works in practice.
We see typography as a tool for structuring content. It creates orientation, enables clear decisions, and supports consistent brand communication.
Depending on the project, we collaborate with a network of designers, developers, writers, and other specialists.
