Indra Kupferschmid is a German typographer and professor at HBKsaar, University of Arts Saarbrücken. Fueled by specimen books, she is occupied with type around the clock and in all its incarnations: webfonts, bitmap fonts, other fonts, type history, DIN committees, research, writing, designing, and any combination of this. She is co-author of Helvetica forever by Lars Müller Publishers and wrote Buchstaben kommen selten allein, a typography text book (German; Niggli). She consults for the type industry, contributes to print- and web projects such as Codex, Slanted, Typographica and Fonts In Use, next to juggling her own small- and ultralarge-scale ventures.
