Holy Swiss Typography

“Holy Swiss Typography” delves into Wolfgang Weingart’s enduring impact on graphic design and typography, with a focal point on his groundbreaking 1972-73 lecture, “How Can One Make Swiss Typography?”. The book, titled provocatively, delivers a chronological scrutiny of Weingart’s teachings, presenting a daring and avant-garde approach. The very title, “Holy Swiss Typography”, conjures both a sense of devotion to Swiss typography and a provocative tone reminiscent of the “Holy Bible”. Through direct interviews and a historical exposition by Sergio Polano, the volume provides an in-depth comprehension of Weingart’s mindset, encouraging continuous contemplation and serving as a profound repository of insights for those fascinated by the brilliance of 20th-century graphic design and typography.
