Achim Reichert is a graphic designer and artist.
He studied Visual Communication in Offenbach, Germany, and co-founded the design office Vier5 twenty-six years ago. Within this multidisciplinary practice, he developed projects such as orientation systems and visual identities for documenta 12 and documenta 14, as well as poster designs for the CAC Brétigny, often using typefaces from his own typographic production or developed specifically for each project.
Since 2020, after leaving Vier5, Reichert has focused more strongly on drawing in small and large formats, a practice that also informs his commissioned work. He is currently teaching and conducting research as an associate professor in the Arts and Philosophy department at Paris 8 University.
