5.0 out of 5 stars Grid and talent, December 31, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wim Crouwel Alphabets (Paperback)
A book about Wim Crouwel's fonts and typographic posters/cards. All text in his own Gridnik typeface. His typefaces are constructed on very logic and rational grounds but still have a strong personality and human dimension, they are more than just experimental. It would certainly be nice to see more about his work. (There are some interesting interviews with Wim Crouwel on You tube)

5.0 out of 5 stars Wim, April 29, 2008
This review is from: Wim Crouwel Alphabets (Paperback)
Wim Crouwel... relatively unknown??!!

Maybe to someone living under a rock or quite frankly, someone who doesn't know anything about design.

Wim Crouwel is arguably the most influential Dutch designer of all time!!

4.0 out of 5 stars great experimental typography, May 10, 2004
By 
Derrick V Schultz (Cincinnati, OH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wim Crouwel Alphabets (Paperback)
this book is a very interesting look at a relatively unknown typeface designer. he starts out using traditional fonts (akzidenz, Helvetica) and now creates fonts based on matrices and pixels. beyond that, his interview explains why he did things the way he did.

a great book for anybody interested in typefaces and typographic layouts. the book layout is itself a little weird (strange margin sixes...) but overall is very clean and very effective.
