Neue Grafik was a groundbreaking quarterly graphic design journal that ran from 1958 to 1965. It served as a pivotal platform for promoting the principles of the Swiss Style, also known as the International Typographic Style (or International Style), which revolutionised modern graphic design with its emphasis on clarity, objectivity, and functionality. The journal was founded in Zurich, Switzerland, following the 1958 "Konstruktive Grafik" exhibition at the Zurich Kunstgewerbemuseum, where key figures in Swiss design showcased their work. It was initiated by renowned designer Josef Müller-Brockmann, who envisioned it as an "International Review of Graphic Design and Related Subjects."
