Based in Berlin, Show Me Fonts is an independent type foundry, offering contemporary retail fonts for professional use and custom tailored type solutions. We produce boutique fonts that meet the highest standards of design and technological quality. Our service embraces all aspects of type, from lettering and logos to font mastering and production, as well as any other typographic issues or support. We are gladly at your disposal.

At Show Me Fonts, we understand that a typeface is more than just a visual design tool; it’s also an essential part of the user experience. That’s why we take a personalized approach to font design, working closely with our clients to develop typefaces that meet their specific needs. Whether you’re looking for something unique and innovative or a more traditional design solution, we’re here to help.

Fonts play a vital role in communication, and custom fonts offer a powerful tool for creating and amplifying you brand identity. Typography serves as the voice of written language, and custom-made fonts ensure consistent brand recognition and the right tone of voice. We specialize in helping you find the perfect voice through custom type solutions for your company or clients. If you’re interested in collaborating, simply reach out and let us know your needs. Providing us with a project overview, timeline, and budget will help us tailor our services to your requirements. The development timeframe depends on the project scope, ranging from a few weeks for a small headline typeface to several months or even over a year for a comprehensive type family with extensive language support.

Bernd Volmer — Founder and Type Designer

In 2023 Bernd launched Show Me Fonts as a font retail platform to showcase his designs and collaborate with like-minded designers. Prior to this venture, Bernd had gained valuable experience at HvD Fonts and Monotype. He had designed and engineered fonts for large custom and corporate projects such as MasterCard, Telekom, TypoLabs, and Berlin Type (the official typeface of the city of Berlin).

Bernd’s interests extend beyond type design as he is also a beer brewer, a longboarder, a snowboarder and a calligrapher. If you want to chat with Bernd about fonts, beer brewing, longboarding, snowboarding, or anything else, drop him a message here. He’s always up for meeting new people!
