The
Typografische Monatsblätter is one of the most important journals to
successfully disseminate the phenomenon of “Swiss typography” to an
international audience. With more than 70 years in existence, the
journal witnessed significant moments in the history of typography and
graphic design. 30 Years of Swiss Typographic Discourse in the
Typografische Monatsblätter examines the years 1960–90, that correspond
to a period of transition in which many factors such as technology,
socio-political contexts and aesthetic ideologies profoundly affected
and transformed the fields of typography and graphic design. The book
includes a large number of works from well -known and lesser -known
designers such as Emil Ruder, Helmut Schmid, Wolfgang Weingart,
Hans-Rudolf Lutz, Jost Hochuli and many others.
