About

About

SFPS is a design studio based in Berlin, specializing in creative direction, branding and editorial thinking.

We work with clients across art, culture, and commerce particularly with institutions and brands that value substance, a clear point of view, and a distinctive visual presence.

Our focus lies in developing clear, timeless design solutions grounded in strong conceptual thinking. We approach design as a holistic process: from strategic positioning and the development of precise visual systems to the careful execution of details.

We have particular expertise in working with type and language both in the selection and application of typography and in the development of custom type solutions for brands.

Our work is defined by depth, structural thinking, and a strong sensitivity to tone and context.
