Viktor Kams

Víctor Fernández better known as “Mr.Kams” or “Viktor Kams” is a calligrapher, graphic designer and tattoo artist born and based in Madrid, Spain. He had an early love for written and drawn letters through the art of graffiti which was prominent in his town. He started writing and painting graffiti around 1992 and was totally devoted to it for the most part of that decade.
After studying graphic design in England in the beginning of the 2000’s he started searching for opportunities in the field of lettering and typography.

He was first introduced to calligraphy around 2008 by the work of Irish calligrapher Denis Brown. It was after a short trip to Istanbul when he fell in love with it and started self teaching himself as a beginner. Afterwards he went on to study with some of the best contemporary calligraphers of our time such as Claude Mediavilla, Ricardo Rousselot, Luca Barcellona, Yves Letterme or Carl Rohrs among others.

His work has been exhibited since in places such as the National Library of Spain or the Design weeks in Milan and Manila and it has also been featured in publications like Dhaserie Magazine, TYPE magazine, Typism book, Kaligrafia Aranzazun, Alphabet magazine or the Speedball book 25th edition among other physical and digital outlets.

Kams works as a freelance calligrapher, graphic designer and tattoo artist in his own studio “The Script House” located in his home town Torrejon de Ardoz in Madrid, Spain.
