About this poster

Hofmann studied in Zurich and later settled in Basel, where he opened a studio and began teaching. Hofmann visualised remarkable exhibition posters. He was a master of typography and over the years developed a standard of design based on consistent and rational principles that created timeless posters. The poster for the 1955 exhibition uses large linocut letters and is reminiscent of the rectangular shape of Japanese seals. A great typographic poster and very rare.
