Die neue Typographie

Jan Tschichold became a leading advocate of Modernist design with his most noted work Die neue Typographie (1928), a manifesto of modern design, in which designers are described as akin to engineers. All typefaces are condemned but sans-serif. He also favoured non-centered design, and codified many other Modernist design rules. He advocated the use of standardised paper sizes, and made some of the first clear explanations of the effective use of different sizes and weights of type in order to quickly and easily convey information. Tschichold later condemned ‘Die neue Typographie’ as too extreme and he condemned Modernist design in general as being authoritarian and inherently fascistic.
