Typografische Monatsblätter

Posted by Thorbjorn 16 November 2009

“Typografische Monatsblätter” is a Swiss magazine focusing on printing and typography. The magazine was founded in 1933 and has featured some of the finest Swiss type-designers over the years. Max Caflisch, Jan Tschichold, Adrian Frutiger were repeatedly writing for “Typografische Monatsblätter”. Best known Swiss designers were contributing for decades: Wolfgang Weingart, Jost Hochuli, Helmut Schmidt, Hans Rudolf Lutz, Emil Ruder.

As the name suggests the magazine was published monthly but in 1952 it became a bi-monthly magazine and is now published together with “Schweizer Grafische Mitteilungen” and “Revue Suisse de l’Imprimerie”.
