​​Bio

​​Kasper Pyndt Rasmussen (DK) is a type- and graphic designer from Copenhagen and the founder of Approximate Type (approxtype.com). He currently shares a tiny studio in Nørrebro with Hanna Bergman, Mads Sandholm, Reidar Pritzel and Laura Silke.

​​

​​The starting point and main engine of his practice is type, language and the relationship between the two. Through this exchange he aims to develop straight-forward design solutions that emphasise conceptual sturdiness and contextual (self)awareness. This results—mostly—in the production of typefaces, books, websites, and visual identities. 

​​

​​In 2016 he obtained his MA from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts’ School for Design after a detour to The Netherlands, completing a year at The Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. He has been working independently since January 1, 2018.
