Creative Type Director Max Bill Last universal scholar, most important design teacher of the 20th century: There are superlatives, always very enthusiastic, when the importance of Max Bill is discussed. The trained silversmith studied at the Bauhaus, with personalities such as Josef Albers, Paul Klee and Oskar Schlemmer. He worked as an architect, later as sculptor and designer. Creative Type Director Oliver Jeschke A fourth-generation creative from Berlin. In his early twenties, he left Germany in order to work at Tatin Design Enterprises in Basel, Switzerland, where he learned to design new typefaces from scratch—manually, without digital tools. After a few years, he went back to Berlin, inspired by the Swiss commitment to quality and equipped with an increased sense of persistence (which is the key to seeing a typeface through). | |
