Studio Linda Hintz

As a type and graphic designer, I draw typefaces and consult on typographic questions. Type design offers the possibility to adapt one of the major building blocks of graphic design to perfectly match the purpose. I see type as a tool that connects to all media, all topics and stands at the core of graphic design.

My work covers drawing and finishing typefaces for retail and corporate use. I draw or fine-tune logos, conduct typeface research for specific projects or consult on typographic questions. For studios and agencies, foundries or directly for customers.

Educated as a graphic designer at HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd and as a type designer at KABK Den Haag, I am based in Copenhagen where I regularly teach and give talks about almost anything related to letters and world around it.

I have some thoughts about the system of design prices as a concept, they will make it into an article sometime. If you have thoughts, too, I'd be happy to discuss. Drop me a line.
