Speaker Bo Linnemann

Bo Linnemann, one of the most influential contemporary Danish type designers, has left a significant mark on Danish visual culture through his work on typography for many of the country’s largest and most recognizable brands.

As the co-founder of Kontrapunkt and a celebrated figure in Scandinavian design, Linnemann has dedicated his life to shaping how we experience design. His journey began with a childhood fascination with Knud V. Engelhardt’s iconic Gentofte street signs, an early influence that motivated his passion for typography as a powerful medium of storytelling and communication.
