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.
