Bernd

Bernd Volmer is a type designer and font engineer based in Berlin. He studied graphic design at ArtEZ in Arnhem and type design at type]media at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. His background spans both the technical and expressive sides of typography — from font engineering and scripting to exploring calligraphy both analog and digitally, drawing on paper and in vector outlines.
Bernd runs a small font foundry called Show Me Fonts, works as a freelancer on all font related things and previously worked in various roles within the type industry, gaining insight into how fonts are designed, built, tested and used at scale. His work often explores the overlap between design and technology — where structure, language, aesthetic and code intersect.
