In 1956 Susanne Heynemann joined the publisher J.B. Wolters for graphic assignments. The publisher wanted to pay more attention to the appearance of school books. The school books looked dull and dry and that needed to change. Her starting point was readability and “nuance”. The calm, unobtrusive choice of typography is typical of the work of Heynemann. The appearance of Wolters-Noordhoff’s books has undergone enormous development largely due to her actions. After 1956 she took care of dozens of publications from pre-primary to university education.
