Chris Campe is a designer and writer in Hamburg. Her medium is language and its visual form.

Chris develops ideas with letterforms and works at the intersection of text and image, art, and design. Her clients are publishers, agencies and companies and she also designs stamps for the German Federal Ministry of Finance. Recently, her protest signs against fascists got a lot of attention and praise.

Chris is the author of six books, three of them about lettering and type. She teaches at several art schools and gives talks internationally. Because she enjoys making connections and bringing people together, she co-founded the Berlin Letters Festival and organizes the Typostammtisch Hamburg.
