Ellmer Stefan (1982, Austria) is a type designer and lecturer based in Oslo, Norway. He studied graphic and type design in Vienna, Arnhem and Leipzig; since 2011 he runs and independent practice combining custom design and self-initiated type projects.

His typefaces — suspended betwixt historical research, utilitarian awareness and mannerist caricature — have won the occasional award and are distributed through his own The Pyte Foundry (thepytefoundry.net), all puns intended.

Alongside, he teaches handwriting, lettering, typography, and type design at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts and has given lectures and led workshops both nationally and internationally.
