I agree with you wholeheartedly about German typography and print design of the post-war period (the Schott Messbuch is another good example) but I deplore your choice of the Frankfurter Hefte to illustrate your point. Had its nostrums prevailed Germany would never have experienced its Wirtschaftswunder but, like luckless Britain, would have stagnated in a pool of noxious socialism until at least the 1970s.

I was hoping no one would notice that, but should have known Hetterscheidt would.

But as my politics are Adenauer’s, I praise only the aesthetics of the Hefte.
