Jost Hochuli: Drucksachen, vor allem Bücher / Printed matter, mainly books
Verlag Niggli AG 2002
Ein Buch über und von Jost Hochuli, Schöpfer unter anderem auch der legendären Typotron-Hefte 1-17 (siehe diesen Blog-Eintrag).
Aus dem Vorwort:
Jost Hochuli is a man of words. Not perhaps literally, for he is a typographer, a book designer, and a graphic designer, as he is happy to describe himself.
Although book design is only a part of his activities, it is this in particular that has made him well-known. This book contains some of his graphic design work, as well as his lettering cut in wood and lino, demonstrating that two apparently irreconcilable design approaches can have synthesis in many of Hochuli's books.
Both Hochuli's work and his writing are the result of rigorous analysis of the matter concerned. The breadth and depth of the work here presented are evidence that for him, 'Book design as a school of thought' has become a way of life. And furthermore, the discipline of implementation, and the always appropriate reduction to the essential reveal clearly that, all his life, Jost Hochuli's work has been based not on sensation, but on reflection.
