Content is quickly forgotten. However, the emotional impression of good design remains stable.
Hello, my name is Wolfgang Beinert. I am a visual designer from Germany with comprehensive skills in graphic and communication design, typography, and photography. I founded my studio in 1989 in Augsburg, with additional stints in Vienna, Rome, and Munich. Since 2006, Berlin has been the location of my design studio.
I specialize in exceptional graphic design, elegant typography, and exquisite print design. I place particular emphasis on individual design solutions that require a high level of philological, artisanal, academic, and/or artistic expertise. Solving difficult, complex tasks arouses my interest, while repetitive activities do not.
My special abilities include the creation of representative and subtle print media. The repertoire also includes digital media.
My client base is diverse, ranging from locally active freelancers to globally operating DAX companies in various industries. I gladly offer my design services nationwide, including full-service options.

I have been recognized multiple times for my design achievements, such as »modern yet timeless typography« (Graphis, New York) and »exceptional design solutions« (DesignNET, Seoul), receiving awards from the Tokyo Type Directors Club, Art Directors and Type Directors Club of New York, and the red dot: best of the best.
My works have been internationally exhibited, with the Goethe-Institut under Hilmar Hoffmann dedicating a retrospective to me in 2001, making me the first graphic designer to receive such recognition. In 2002, the US design magazine »Graphis« named me one of the significant European graphic designers.
Typography
In addition to my profession as a visual designer, I am a typographer and editor of Typolexikon.de, a lexicon and specialized encyclopedia on European typography, which I editorially oversee.
It periodically provides contributions on typography, fonts, and graphic design, making them accessible to a broad audience. Typolexikon was first published online in 2001, and by 2024, over four million visitors have used this reference work.
Since 2003, I have been passionately involved as a lecturer in typography, graphic and communication design. While I used to teach at various universities, today, I offer my seminars and in-house training for professionals from the agency, design, and publishing scenes under my label Typoakademie.de.
