Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan Reynolds is a design practitioner, historian, and educator with 11 years of professional experience teaching typography and book studies within the German university system and beyond. He combines rigorous academic research (Dr. phil. in Kommunikationsdesign) with practical work for type foundries and cultural institutions, producing copy, marketing, and exhibition content for clients like the Klingspor Museum and Letterform Archive. At JGU he teaches typography from material and aesthetic perspectives while running TypeOff.de, where his commissions span museums, publishers, and type archives and include editing Fontstand News and designing Gutenberg-Jahrbücher. His background bridges international training (Reading, RISD) and hands-on font engineering at Linotype, giving him rare fluency across type design, history, and production. Colleagues know him for turning scholarly insight into accessible narratives and museum-ready outputs that advance both scholarship and type-market visibility.
