Bringing together several texts by Jost Hochuli himself, contributions by well-known figures (including a preface by John Morgan and an interview with Robin Kinross) and a corpus of previously unpublished archival images, this monograph aims to raise interest in book design, and especially the inspirations and personalities that marked out the designer’s career. The book is a visual monograph, which develops in several thematic sections the questions that have guided Jost Hochuli’s practice over his sixty-year career, and in particular his conception of design as an essential factor in the legibility of a text and the transmission of knowledge. Each part is abundantly illustrated with works specifically digitized and displayed in a layout designed by Jost Hochuli himself, to create a reference work on the designer’s work. The designer has just celebrated his 90th birthday in 2023, yet no monograph of his work has been published since \u003cem\u003ePrinted Matter, Mainly Books\u003c\/em\u003e in 2002. This book will provide a much-needed update on the last twenty years of Jost Hochuli’s career, as well as on the renewed interest in his work, particularly as an author, among younger generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"displayGallery\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[publisher's note]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B42","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57357992264020,"sku":"A8B-33376","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/9609\/6596\/files\/Num_C3_A9riser_2027_41de3a8e-d90b-4b29-9dd4-df9b456c1665.jpg?v=1790813714","url":"https:\/\/after8books.com\/products\/typobiography","provider":"After 8 Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
