Hi there,

Next week I am visiting Berlin. Any advice about interesting typographic places to know, to visit or to take pictures of?

Thanks in advance.

Everywhere! Here are some of my pics.

Stop by FontShop Germany for some free goodies.

Do not miss the Bauhaus museum. Small but important.

Uncover some vintage printed stuff at a flea market.

There’s a thread about the Hauptbahnhof, including some pictures

Underground stations signs are interesting and vary quite a bit.

And Herr Spiekermann has a studio there.

Spiekermann left Meta many years ago. He now runs SpiekermannPartners.

Thanks!
And... I am going stay in Berlin for 2 days. If a local want to go for beers and typographic chats, just contact me.

Which days?
Every 2 months the type geeks meet at the »Typo-Stammtisch« Berlin. Next week, on the 13th is another meeting.

You are welcome to the »Typo-Stammtisch« Berlin, Ramiro. Some people from FontShop, maybe Erik S. and other well known type designers will be there too.

Visit Tacheles Theatre

It’s a converted old department store that now houses Art Studios and a few bars. I was there in March, and in the backyard they had huge letters you can sit on.

There will be two lectures in German language, but after them I am sure you can speak with the most of us in English.

That’s the beauty of Berlin. All I know how to say in German is “I don’t speak German” and I got along fine ;-)
