Kai Brenner is a Swiss-German brand and graphic designer based between Basel and Berlin. He works within the tradition of the International Typographic Style — systematic, grid-based, and built for clarity — but applies it to contemporary brand problems across culture, tech, and finance.
He trained at the Schule für Gestaltung Basel and refined his practice at Interbrand Zurich before going independent in 2016. His work has been recognised by D&AD, Red Dot, and the Type Directors Club.
