This large-scale, copiously illustrated monograph on the work of Dutch typographer Walter Nikkels offers insight into his oeuvre, with an emphasis on his method, mentality, sources of inspiration, specific role and position, and interaction with international artists and art institutes. Nikkels has designed and edited numerous books and catalogues for many museums and institutes, both in the Netherlands and abroad, along with bank notes, stamps, posters, logos and house styles. Not only does he focus on typography and book design, but he has also designed and installed a number of major exhibitions. Aside from simply an overview of this seminal designer, it offers perspectives on typography and its traditions and the communicative value of design.
