Ruder Typography
The celebrated and much sought-after issue of the magazine ‘Idea’, focusing on a towering figure in Swiss graphic design is now in print again. Idea is a renowned Japanese magazine on international graphic art and typography. Its 333th edition lent 226 pages to Emil Ruder, showcasing his work, influence and legacy in the world of typography and beyond, yielding a comprehensive survey of Ruder’s accomplishments. It brings together essays, discussions and appraisals from fellow designers, typographers and artists. It engages with Ruder’s many years of work and teaching in Basel, his thirty years as publisher of the famous Typographische Monatsblatter, as well as his posters, fonts and philosophy. The extraordinary and comprehensive presentation of the life and works of Swiss typographic legend Emil Ruder sold out shortly after coming off the press and will now be available in a facsimile reprint.
