Schriften, Lettering, Écritures

For decades, Lettering (1949) by Walter Käch has served as a vital handbook for practitioners and students of type design in Switzerland and beyond. lts lessons helped to shape the distinctive forms and ethos of mid-century design, leading to the development of influential typefaces such as Univers and Helvetica. Encouraging readers to both learn from and build upon the past, Käch’s manual – available once again in this faithful reprint – continues to be relevant in an age of pixels and screens.
