German typographer Paul Renner is best known as the designer of the typeface Futura, which stands as a landmark of modern graphic design. This title details Renner's life and work to reveal the breadth of his accomplishment and influence.
Renner was a central figure in the German artistic movements of the 1920s and 1930s, becoming an early and prominent member of the Deutscher Werkbund while creating his first book designs for various Munich-based publishers. As the author of numerous texts, he created a new set of guidelines for balanced book design. Christopher Burke presents a wealth of hitherto unpublished materials, drawing on primary sources and archival research. The book is also beautifully designed by Robin Kinross.
