For my nerdalistic type lovers only: a short, but quite indepth, interview with Wim Crouwels, typographer extraordinaire:


Who is this man living the life by the name of Wim Crouwel? Well, let’s quote now:

Wim Crouwel, born in 1928 in Groningen, Netherlands, is a Dutch graphic designer and typographer.

Fonts designed by Crouwel
New Alphabet 1, 2 and 3
Stedelijk Alphabet
Fodor Alphabet
Gridnik Alphabet.

Important works by Crouwel
‘Cut-up’ Calendar for the Van der Geer printing company (1963-1964)
Logo Rabobank (1973)
Number Postage Stamps for the PTT in the Netherlands (In circulation 1976-2000).

He has been and still is one of the most important designers in Dutch graphic history. In the years 1985-1993 he was director of the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam

Crouwel is still an active member of the Dutch graphic design scene.
