Typographie [Typography] [GERMAN, ENGLISH, FRENCH TEXT]

Switzerland: Arthur Niggli Teufen AR, 1967. Large Hardcover. Very Good / Good. Item #2324289

Some small tears to jacket edges, jacket soiled. Top edge of front board bumped.

273 pp. German, English, and French text. This book is the legacy of Emil Ruder, one of the originator of Swiss Style, famous throughout the world for the use of asymmetric layouts, use of a grid, sans-serif typefaces and flush left, ragged right text. His holistic approach is still recognized as fundamental for graphic designers and typographers all over the world. The voume is a comprehensive masterpiece seen in its overall structure: in the themes presented, in the comparison of similarities and contrasts, in the richness of the illustrations and the harmoniously inserted types. Behind the purely pedagogic examples of exact proportions, a rich, philosophical thinking shines through. Today, fifty years after this book was first published, it is still widely used and referenced.
