Description«I have always felt there has to be a mysterious connection between chair design and typography, perhaps typography is the two-dimensional equivalent exercise. Subtle adjustments of shape and width result in extreme differences of expression in a typeface. The quest for a modern looking, “normal” typeface has been long running and brought forth various tangible results, but no font was as successful as the old Berthold Akzidenz-Grotesk. Even major players like Josef Müller-Brockmann used it in their advertisements.»Jasper Morrison
