4.0 out of 5 stars Frutiger from the different point of view
One thing on this book is really great: to see how many shared, similar principles of design you can find both in Frutiger's type design on the one side and woodcuts and drawings on the other side. Relation between forms and counterforms, outside and inside, open and closed, black and white is the pure essence of all the works by Adrian Frutiger. No matter if he is...

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for the price
If you are already a fan of Adrian Frutiger and want a nice coffee table book then this book is perfect. For solid reference information, I would not recommend the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!, April 6, 2008
This review is from: Forms and Counterforms (Paperback)
I first encountered this book at my school library while looking for some inspiration for a design project. Not only did I renew this book 3 times (which was the max), but I ended up buying a copy for myself! The typography inside is beautiful and shows how Frutiger came up with many of his type designs by referencing organic objects. Genius!
