MAX KOSTOPOULOS created his early fonts already during his studies, dedicated to the design of letterings through analogue design methods. He launched www.26plus-zeichen.de with Jakob Runge in 2010. Both proceeded to plan and manage numerous workshops on Type Design at several universities of applied sciences ever since. After his studies of communications design at the universities of Würzburg (BA) and Mainz (MA), Kostopoulos was Art Director of Corporate Publishing, Corporate Design and Interactive Design in Mainz and Hamburg.
