In honor of his birthday this month, Typocurious digs into the Lawson-Provan file of perhaps the greatest modern typographer-type designer of the last century, Jan Tschichold (2 April 1902-11 August 1947). This series begins with an article by Paul Standard entitled “Jan Tschichold—Proponent of Asymmetry and Tradition” culled from a Gallery 303 lecture keepsake.

The series will be interrupted mid-month to note the birthday of letterer extraordinaire Oswald Cooper (13 April 1897–17 December 1940).
