Jan Fromm is a freelance type and graphic designer. In addition to working for agencies and direct clients, he sells his own typefaces under the label Jan Fromm. His families are contemporary, well-built text fonts that work wonderfully in long texts and large point sizes: Jan Fromm’s main focus is on good legibility and visual independence. His latest publications include the typefaces CamingoSlab and Capito.

Samara Keller is a typeface and graphic designer from Zurich. Her work includes animation, poster design, type design, and wordmarks. The goals of her design work are to fully exploit the aesthetic potential of type and its ability to convey moods. In addition to the aesthetic impact of type, she is interested in the technological aspects of type and the possibilities it offers.

Rudolf Barmettler taught typeface and typography at the Zurich University of the Arts, where he was responsible for continuing education in typography and type design and was head of the visual communication department. Since 2002, he has been teaching the evening course at the Zurich School of Design.
