Typoint is a design studio focused on typography, founded by Patrick Marc Sommer.
We bring structure to complex communication.
To achieve this, we combine type strategy, design, and consulting. Together with our clients, we develop systems that create orientation, support decision-making, and work over the long term.
We see typography as a tool for structuring information. It creates clarity, supports consistent brand management, and makes complex content easier to understand.
Depending on the project, we collaborate with a network of designers, developers, writers, and other specialists.
