Example 7 Jan Tschichold

 

Tschichold, Jan. "Sonderheft Typographische Mitteilungen"1925.

Tschichold was born in Germany and is regarded as one of the most outstanding and influential typographers of the twentieth century. His work is distinguished by its rigorous structure, asymmetrical placement of contrasting elements, and layouts based on horizontal and vertical underlying grids. You will notice a harmonious composition of balance, white space, and straight lines throughout his designs.

A fun fact is that he is often remembered for his post-war refashioning of Penguin paperbacks.  During his career with Penguin, he re-designed over 500 books.
