Oliver Schöndorfer

Oliver Schöndorfer is a typography consultant and UI designer from Austria, helping UX and design teams create better digital products through smarter type. With over 15 years of experience, he empowers designers to improve usability, accessibility, and brand consistency by building strong typographic systems.

Through his YouTube channel Pimp my Type, the Font Friday Newsletter, talks, workshops, and mentoring, he shares practical tips with humour and heart – all aimed at uncovering the hidden potential in every interface. His love for type began in design school – triggered by a badly spaced shampoo label — and he once switched banks over a terrible logotype.

When not nerding out over kerning, he enjoys yoga, hiking with his wife and three daughters, and grinding coffee by hand — because details matter, and somehow you gotta keep it all going.
