Wolfgang started with creating his own work and explored the world of design, which lead to the accidental creation of a new style. He quickly became a well-known international graphic designer, typographer and teacher and was regarded as the rebel of modern Swiss typography. He was crowned the father of the ‘New Wave’ typography in the early 1970s which is also called ‘Swiss Punk’.
Weingart was said to believe that the development of the Swiss Typography was becoming somewhat boring and sterile, his goal was to breathe new life into the new typography. He believed that the only way to break the typographic rules was to know them.

“My vision, fundamentally compatible with our school’s philosophy was to breathe new life into the teaching of typography by re-examining the assumed principles of its current practice. The only way to break the rules was to know them.”
