Printed matter, mainly books
_In-depth introduction to the design of books and printed matter

Printed matter, especially books by Jost Hochuli, provides a precise insight into the art of book and printed matter design. Hochuli explains fundamental typographic principles and shows how careful decisions about proportion, rhythm, and typesetting shape the quality of a book. Using numerous examples from his practice, he illustrates how functional and aesthetic design work together.
The book offers both theoretical guidance and practical application tips and is aimed at designers, typesetters, students, and anyone who wants to understand the structure of well-made printed products. It shows how subtle typographic details form a harmonious overall picture. The award in the “Most Beautiful Swiss Book” competition in 2002 underscores its special design relevance.
