Hello there! I’m Sumbo, a lettering artist and calligrapher in Hamburg.
I use lettering, illustration, and calligraphy to create visual worlds that tell my client's stories in a clear, fun, and organic way.
The Lettering Style Challenge
To define my style, I took part in the hand lettering challenge hosted by Aurelie Maron.
Douglas 2018 Sinterklaas Campaign
Calligraphy created for the Douglas 2018 Sinterklass campaign. Used for on-site production, and also further digital & physical assets.
Meet these silly guys who make me smile
Over time, I created a world full of these fun lettering characters as a way to just let loose without having to think about spacing, x-heights, or all the rules of lettering. I really enjoy it and here is a peek into their world and into a weird part of my sketchbook.
Are you a brand or agency looking for lettering, partnerships, or art licensing? I’d love to hear from you!
