Viktor Zumegen
Communication & Type Designer
VZWO Type is expressive by nature, precise in function and refined in character.
I believe in type design as the purest form of communication design, shaping how language is visually expressed. It is my particular passion to create typefaces that feel like music to the eyes of the beholder — harmonizing form and meaning.
With a strong yet soulful approach to drawing letterforms, I develop typefaces and complex type systems. I also design letterings and logos that embody a defined character and striking personality. Each design carries a unique voice and confident presence, built to stand out and communicate with clarity.
Based in Germany, I am fluent in German (native), English and French.
