Helvetica: Homage to a Typeface⣠Available at www.draw-down.com⣠⣠In 1957, Swiss typographer #MaxMiedinger created the typeface Haas Grotesk. Renamed #Helvetica in 1960, Miedinger's typeface became one of the worldâs most-used typefaces. Embodying the myth of the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity), propagated at the time by #Swiss Typography, this sturdy typefaceââthe shift-worker and solo entertainer of typefacesââhas marched towards ubiquitous triumph. This thick little tome brings together graphic design by well-known designers and anonymous amateurs from around the world, showcasing a panoply of applications, from classic modernist posters to ugly, ingenious, charming, and even hair-raising samples of Helvetica in use. Helvetica is not only the preferred typeface of leading professionals, it is also an all-time favorite among the multitude of codes and signals and commands that enliven urban life.⣠⣠#design (at Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4X6m6MnSDu/?igshid=5t8zrd0nkaih
