Joerg Hemker

With 25 years of professional experience, driven by a passion for aesthetics and communication, I have established myself as a freelance Creative Director and Type Designer. I specialize in crafting distinctive visual communication solutions for renowned brands such as dm-Drogeriemarkt, Primondo, HDI Insurance, Mainova, and Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg — a project that has garnered acclaim with the German Brand and Reddot Design Awards. Similarly, my contributions to the North Rhine-Westphalia state government were recognized with a Reddot Design Award. Many of my logos and trademarks for REWE, Aktion Mensch, Walbusch, and Würth serve as enduring testaments to my craftsmanship and contribute to shaping their public image.

I have also shared my expertise by teaching typography at Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and creating typefaces for leading brands such as dm Drogeriemarkt GmbH & Co. KG, Metabo, Harry-Brot, and Aldi Süd USA. Notably, my award-winning type designs FF Sero® and FF Nort™ were launched by Monotype®, while Fontwerk™ proudly hosts my honored Ika™ family.

My creative endeavors have been celebrated with prestigious awards including DDC, Reddot, IF, German Design Award, Communication Arts, and the Art Directors Club New York.
