Both as a teacher and a designer, Wolfgang Weingart's influence on the development of typography since the 1970s is unparalleled. As the successor to Emil Ruder at the world-famous Schule fur Gestultung in Basel, he enhanced the rigor of Swiss Typography with experimental verve and creativity; he also put his innovative ideas to work for Typografische Monatsblutter. Countless designers in North America and Europe have been inspired by his teachings and lectures. In Typography, Weingart sums up an impressive lifework in 500 pages that describe his own development and the foundations of his teachings. This is a long-awaited book of epochal significance.

5 of 5 LOVIN IT! Wednesday, November 12, 2008
kern toy from el sobrante, ca  

This book is one of those seminal books that come along once or twice in a generation, right along with Armin Hoffmann's A Graphic Design Manual and Emil Ruder's Typographie. It is insightful and revealing. Mostly importantly to me though is its deep look into a designer's mind and how he sees type. I've always admired Wolfgang Weingart's work and wondered, "how does he make those connections?". Definitely will become one of my most read and referenced books. This book is for anyone who admires, looks at, or wants to understand the new and experimental typography that seems to be saturating the market, but that only a few really know how to do well. My background: practicing graphic designer and adjunct professor of graphic design at CCA. California College of the Arts.
