The great Swiss typographer Karl Gerstner's "writing system" remains a classic for designers more than 30 years after its publication. Author of The Designer as Programmer, Gerstner was hugely influential; "nobody matched [his] orginality as a typographer nor his daring as an advertising designer, and as a theorist he was for decades the most coherent writer on graphics," writes eye magazine. Yes, the text is only in German, but this square little book, mostly black-and-white, bound at the top, contains a lifetime of wisdom about the use of letterforms and key issues like spacing, kerning, screens, script forms, arranging words on a page-just about everything that affects the most important issue of all: legibility.Karl Gerstner is the author of 'Kompendium Fur Alphabeten (German Edition)', published 2000 under ISBN 9783721202366 and ISBN 3721202368.
