Sven is one of the founders of Typocalypse, a typography collective and type foundry in Saarbrücken, Germany. He teaches workshops and is a lecturer at the Saar College of Fine Arts. Graduate of the TypeMedia program at the KABK in The Hague in 2017. He writes about his graduation typeface Gustav (2017): Gustav is a typeface system that reflects on the super-elliptic design space and dives into the heritage of German type design of the early and mid 1950s like the work of Georg Trump, Hermann Zapf and Friedrich H. E. Schneidler. Gustav aims to be used in editorial design. It consists of serif and sans-serif family members. The serifs with their corresponding bold and italics are aimed for medium length texts. The sans-serif members which are much more outspoken, are to be used in headlines. In 2016, he designed the excellent 8-style Typewalk Mono 1915 (Typocalypse), a family that glorifies early German industrialism, and writes: Typewalk Mono 1915, the vintage typewriter grotesque that is branded by history. It is a tribute to the European sign painter and lettering tradition of the early 20th century. Typewalk Mono 1915 also speaks in the proto-rational and graphical language of the Werkbund Objectivity which was used around 1915. It works great for cultural, editorial and branding purposes. Typewalk 1915 was published in 2017. Winner Sans (2019, designed with Christoph Koeberlin at Sportsfonts) is a large athletic lettering family of typefaces. Home page.
