Hans Schleger, known professionally as Zero, was a British graphic designer and typographer whose work defined modernist visual communication in mid-twentieth-century Europe and America. Working across print, advertising, and corporate identity, he developed a spare, geometric aesthetic that prioritized clarity and functional elegance over ornament. His approach to letterform and spatial composition influenced generations of designers and established protocols for systematic branding that persist today.
