Since the 1990s, font design has been transformed by technologies enabling scalable, mathematically accurate representations of graphic elements. This volume examines the resurgence of historic typefaces and the contemporary focus on text fonts for print, screen, and wayfinding within Zurich’s academic circles. Edited by Rudolf Barmettler, the book features 70 graduate-level font projects alongside 17 scholarly essays on readability, historical development, and the pedagogy of type design.
