Wolfgang Weingart 1

Wolfgang Weingart is the designer who mastered himself in typography and like that make a lot of contributions to the graphic design world.




Weingard through his life experimented a lot with typography. At first he went to the abstract type patterns almost to the absurd. Later on when he developed his style his typography came out tangible esthetic. He was master at layering type of tinted panels. He was respecting and keep it to the rules of Swiss  typography, but he wanted to experiment with something new. The only way for him to break the rules was to know them.
 With typography he learned all about photo-lithography, and how to use everything related to that. He always want to learn something more and take more from his life. He was teacher and he taught his student in that way- knowledge and imagination can and should work together. His work with strict lines and clear typography really amaze me. I like when everything is in order, complementary and sharp. I am getting a lot of inspirations by looking at his using it.
