Overview

This exhibition should give a good insight into the history and principles of Die Neue Typographie, a typographic style that became prominent during the modernist era of the nineteenth century. Although these ideals were

considered ground-breaking at the time of their inception,

it soon became apparent that the ideology of a one size

fits all solution—present in the modernist movement and

Die Neue Typographie alike—was flawed. The errors

of this strict and dogmatic system were highlighted by

its main protagonist Jan Tschichold, only seven years

after his publication of Die Neue Typographie in 1928, the author no longer supported his original ideals.

The failure of Die Neue Typographie is emphasized

throughout this exhibition by the means of juxtaposition, pieces of Die Neue Typographie are displayed in their

original format, This is an attempt to specify how the

New Wave, or Swiss Punk style of the late 1970s began.

Typographic layouts from the New typography have also been digitally glitched and placed alongside New Wave

typography pieces, in order to emphasize how Wolfgang

Weingart, Founding Father of the renowned Swiss Punk style, broke numerous typographic rules in order to develop a unique and influential graphic language.

Die Neue Typographie: as a failed theory_

“Good taste and perfect typography are suprapersonal. Today, good taste is often erroneously rejected as old-fashioned because the ordinary man, seeking approval of his so-called personality, prefers to follow the dictates of his own peculiar style rather than submit to any objective criterion of taste.” —Jan Tschichold, 1948

Published in Ausgewählte über Fragen der Gestalt des Buches und der Typographie, 1975.


“I myself got fairly disappointed with modernism in general, it simply became boring. If I see a brochure now with lots of whitespace, that has six lines of Helvetica up on the top, and a little abstract logo on the bottom, and a picture of a business man walking somewhere. The overall communication that says to me is—do not read me, because I will bore the shit out of you. Not just visually but also in content, because the content will most likely say the same, as it says to me visually” —Stefan Sagmeister, 2007

Tschichold was inspired after visiting the first Bauhaus

exhibition in August 1923, after beholding the progressive

approach to typography at Bauhaus, Tschichold renounced his former works—which had implemented traditional

arrangements of classical type, set in symmetrical columns—He converted to modernism and began

publishing works promoting his typographical theories.

Five years later in his first book Die Neue Typographie,

Tschichold set forth rules for standardization of practices relating to modern typographic conventions. Within his

dogmatic text, Tschichold refined, codified and articulated

the design concepts of the already established New

Typography—which condemned all typefaces except for the sans-serif, encouraged the abandonment of capital letters

and type being set strictly flush left, rejected symmetry, advocated standardized sizes of paper and indicated

guidelines towards establishing a typographic hierarchy

when implementing type in design. Tschichold disparaged

For his writings on the New Typography, Jan Tschichold received praise from fellow modernist designers of the time such as El Lissitzky, Walter Gropius, Herbert

Bayer, László Moholy-Nagy and Paul Renner who is notable for designing the iconic modernist typeface Futura in 1927. The principles outlined in Die Neue Typographie also paved the way for the International Typographic Style, emerging from

Switzerland during the 1950s the International Style expanded on the principles set

forth in Die Neue Typographie which had an undeniable influence on the protagonists

of the movement such as Emil Ruder, Josef Müller-Brockmann and Max Bill.

It should be noted that despite Tschichold’s adherence to the New Typography

after 1923, he did not entirely abandon traditional book design. Until 1933 a number

of his designs still implemented symmetry, decorative ornaments and both serifed and Fraktur typefaces—all of which were rejected within Die Neue Typographie.

Despite Tschichold’s implementation of classical design methods for his book layouts after 1928, he was never credited for these works. This gives the impression that he

considered them lesser achievements than his work reflecting the New Typography.

“It seemed as if everything that made me curious was forbidden: to question established typographic practice, change the rules, and to reevaluate its potential. I was motivated to provoke this stodgy profession and to stretch the typeshop’s capabilities to the breaking point, and finally, to prove once again that typography is an art.” —Wolfgang Weingart

Troubleshooting Before the beginning of World War II, Tschichold began

to reconsider and ultimately discard the principles of Die

Neue Typographie. He reverted to the traditional and

symmetrical typography he had so fervently rejected almost two decades earlier. Since Die Neue Typographie had been

a response to the disorder in European typography during

the 1920s, perhaps Tschichold now felt that further progress

was no longer necessary and that he had gone as far as he could in exploring the new frontiers.

Another event contributing Tschichold’s change of heart

occurred in 1933, when he was arrested by the Nazi’s and

labelled a cultural Bolshevik. The Nazis did not agree with

Die Neue Typographie and wanted all of German printing set in black letter type. Tschichold was held for six weeks,

but was allowed to emigrate due to the fact he was not of Jewish descent. Upon moving to Switzerland, most

of Tschichold’s work consisted of book design, he soon

became aware that his conservative client-base were not overly receptive to the New Typography.

Troubleshooting Many of the designers who had fervently embraced Die

Neue Typographie were bewildered and even wounded

by the authors shocking reversal. Tschichold now claimed that “In time, typographical things, in my eyes, took on a

very different aspect, and to my astonishment I detected

most shocking parallels between the teachings of Die Neue

Typographiet and National Socialism and fascism. Obvious similarities consist of the ruthless restriction of typefaces

and minimalistic arrangement of lines. Because I did not

want to be guilty of spreading the very ideas of what had

compelled me to leave Germany, I thought over again what

a typographer should do”.

He also added that the

also did not “allow for desire for variety. It

militaristic attitude”.

Die Neue Typographie: as a failed theory_

Tschichold now believed that typographers should embrace humanist ideals and utilize the wisdom and achievements of past typographers and the entire heritage of graphic

design as sources of inspiration. Although he continued to consider Die Neue Typography

appropriate for fields such as advertising and perhaps for some publications, he found it

inappropriate for most scholarly and literary publications. A so-called ‘second edition’ of

Die neue Typographie—in fact a facsimile edition of the book of 1928, with merely a

changed title and imprint page—was important in signalling that ‘young Tschichold’ had

now been freed from his own, later even posthumous grip, which would not have allowed

an unmodified republication of this text.

Update Wolfgang Weingart was born near the Swiss border of Germany in 1941. He enrolled in a course in applied art and design at the Merz Academy in Stuttgart in 1958. There he

discovered the schools printing facilities and, at the age of 17, set type for the first time.

After graduating, he undertook a rigorous apprenticeship as a typesetter at Ruwe Printing in Stuttgart, he met house designer Karl-August Hanke, a former student at the Basel

School of Design. It was Hanke who became a mentor to the young Weingart, introducing him to design being done outside of Germany, particularly in Switzerland, where Ruder,

Armin Hofmann and Karl Gerstner were making work that would come to be referred to as the International Style.

Although strong evidence of Swiss orderliness could be seen in the simple letterheads

and business cards that Weingart designed during his time at Ruwe, his work possessed a spontaneity and deliberate carelessness that transcended the precepts of Swiss design

of that period. Even at this early stage in his professional development, Weingart’s innate sense of the limitations of perpendicular composition in lead typesetting, coupled with

the strict technical and aesthetic discipline of his apprenticeship and his rebellious nature, drove him inexorably to pursue a more experimental approach. A dropped case of six-

point type served as the basis for his round compositions. He scooped the type up from

the floor and tied it up to form a disc. By printing both the faces and the bottoms of the

bodies of the metal type, he achieved the illusion of depth.

Update

Weingart continued his studies at the Schule für Gestaltung Basel from 1964 onwards as an independent student under

the informal tutorage of Armin Hofmann and Emil Ruder.

After two years Hofmann granted Weingart the permission to stay longer; at the same time, Ruder extended privileged

access to the typeshop. Working independently, Weingart started to experiment with typographic concepts and

components such as “slant, weight, size, the expression

of various types, the limits of readability and the most

interesting, the effects of letterspacing.” He also created

shapes out of linoleum and strips of metal, which he used as

additional elements to metal type. The combination of those experiments with the use of filmsetting led to staggering results. “In the darkroom, through photomechanical

processes, [he] made words and lines of type completely

illegible.” Even though Weingart affirmed that he took

“Swiss Typography as a sensible point of departure, and

through teaching and experimenting [he developed] new design models,” it seems that “he deliberately broke the

rules set out by Ruder.” But to break the rules, you need to

know them—and in that sense Weingart was empowered

with all the required criteria to act in this way.
