Rooftop Typography

Wim Crouwel was one of the most influential graphic designers in post-war Holland. Famous for injecting a creative approach in designing letters, Crouwel produced typographic designs that captured the essence of the emerging computer age. His fascination for the grid manifested itself in a series of slides that he took of the rooftop typography of farmers houses. These inspired his experiments with grid-based letterforms, developed into the Fodor and the Stedelijk systems, characterised by a futuristic computer style.
