‘A lettering manual of Swiss Modernism’
Instructional portfolio for letterform design.
Beautiful also to feel / see the letterpress impressions on the paper/card, especially with the larger type letters!
Käch taught at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Zurich. Amongst his students were Adrian Frutiger, Jost Hochuli and Emil Ruder.
This article by Peter Bain in EYE magazine gives a detailed analysis of this scarce manual.
