Born in Glückstadt a.d. Elbe, Germany in 1972, Ute Harder (known as Frau Jenson at P22) studied Illustration and Communication design at the University of Applied Science in Hamburg under Jovica Veljovic. Since 2002, she works as a freelance graphic designer, collaborating on diverse projects for Linotype and developing her own fonts. She lives in Hamburg.

At P22, she published Alpha Initials (2004), Alpha Roman (2006, described by her as a playful calligraphic display face), Cilati (2004, calligraphic script; +Swash caps), Frau Jenson People (2004, pictograms), Bastyan Pro (2006, based on the Carolingian minuscules), and Tulda (2004, letters done for a calendar), which includes Tulda Symbols.

At Linotype, she designed Marathon LT Display and Book (1999, after the famous 1931 font by Rudolf Koch). Other fonts by her include My People, Some Indiduals, Initials, Out Now, Pixi Bilderbuch and Pixi Outline, as well as the Gracy, Grocy and Groby families.
