René Bieder (*1982) is a trained Graphic designer and Art Director and self taught type designer. Before setting up his own studio as a type designer in 2012, he was employed in various small and large advertising agencies as an Art Director and Graphic Designer working for national and international clients. During his agency time he developed a deep interest in type design and started designing typefaces as a side project.

René likes to get straight to the point, keep things simple and work fast. Most of the time he works on his own but when required, includes a network of specialists.
Custom Typefaces
You cannot not communicate. Especially without type. You only need a custom typeface for a visual branding and the job is done. Maybe not quite. But a custom typeface makes a significant contribution to the branding. It's as distinctive as a handwriting, as perfectly fitted as a tailored suit and as unique as a brand's personality. René will help you find and express that personality in a typeface. Learn more at the custom fonts section.
Typeface Modifications
Sometimes it's the details that turn an existing font into something unique and distinctive. That's why René offers modifications on of all his library fonts. If you want to achieve a big impact with little effort, this is the way to go. Of course, the font can also be given its own name afterwards. You can find a selection of projects with modified retail fonts in the custom fonts section.
Language Extension
All retail typefaces support all common Western European languages by default . If you need language support for Cyrillic and Greek, please send a request. Beside language extensions it is also possible to integrate your own characters like logos, icons or something else. Please send a mail to discuss the details.
Logo Refinement
The idea for a logo determines its success or failure. The same goes for the execution. Just as with fonts, it's the subtle details that turn a good logo into a great logo. René will help you get the last ten percent of your logo right to let it shine as bright as possible.
