Theater Bau Von der Antike bis zur Moderne

Armin Hofmann was a Swiss graphic designer and typographer whose work defined the visual language of Swiss modernism in the postwar era. Working primarily in typography, layout, and poster design, he developed a systematic approach to visual communication rooted in geometric abstraction and sans-serif typefaces. His teaching at the Basel School of Design shaped generations of designers across Europe and North America. Hofmann's method treated the grid and negative space as active compositional elements rather than neutral structures, establishing principles that became foundational to international design practice.
