Special issue of the renowned Japanese design magazine IDEA, dedicated to the life and work of typographer Jan Tschichold (1902–1974). As a pivotal figure in 20th-century typography—from his early advocacy for "New Typography" in the 1920s to his later classical revival at Penguin Books—this issue revives his legacy through extensive reproductions, essays, and translations. It captures Tschichold's evolution across phases like avant-garde posters, book design, and corporate identities, reflecting his dogmatic yet adaptable approach to form and function.
