Jan Tschichold. A Life in Typography. Ruari McLean

Lund Humphries. 1997. First edition. Paperback. 128pp.


Ruari McLean identifies the two unique contributions which Tschichold made to the history and practice of typography: firstly, to show how the ideas of modernism could be applied to day-to-day typography, and secondly, to show the importance of getting all the details right - with elegance.

An introductory essay is followed by a selection of illustrations with extended captions, offering todays practitioners a portfolio of outstanding design solutions by a pioneer of typography.

Showing numerous samples of hand written correction notes by Tschichold for various artworks/typesetting. Always a treat.
