Patrick Nell is a type designer from Vienna, Austria. With over twenty years of experience in digital and analogue media and as an award-winning graphic designer and creative director, he has a deep passion for and a strong understanding of typography.
In 2024 he established Alphabets Patrick Nell to publish his retail type design work. He also holds a master's degree in political science and maintains a particular interest in social movements and their relation to art. He therefore takes a specific view on the history and role of typography, which is reflected in his work as a type designer. Furthermore, Patrick Nell views design as a trinity, believing that its functions—technical-practical, formal-aesthetic and symbolic—are not exclusive to each other, but rather, that the best designs take into account all three of them.
