Jan Tschichold was a German typographer, book designer and writer, regarded as one of the pioneers of modern graphic design. Born in Leipzig in 1902, he developed innovative typographical principles, advocating for clear, functional design. His most well-known work, Die neue Typographie (1928), forms the foundation of modern design, influencing generations of designers. Tschichold was an advocate of sans serif fonts and a structured arrangement text and images. After leaving Germany in the 1930s, he resumed his work in Switzerland and later in the UK, where he continued to influence typographical practice. Volume 1 examines the roots, sources and effects of Die neue Typographie, in essays demonstrating how Tschichold formulated his own ideas and describes their effect on the design scene. Volume 2 is dedicated to the original sources of Tschichold’s bibliography in the form of magazines, books and other media. It combines original and facsimile editions with a visual and text-based documentation, accompanied by photographs with descriptions, pertinent information and other interpretations. Both volumes available separately.
