It includes original sketches, revivals, experimentations, decorative, hybrid, display and text fonts, classifying the type foundries involved with biographies of the designers, student works and bauhaus-inspired fonts. Generally, the book analyzes the evidence of the movement’s impact on typography and graphic design today.
