Josef Muller-Brockmann (1914–96) was a leader of the international typographic style, or Swiss design, the design movement characterized by the sans serif typeface and precisely aligned layout so commercially prominent in the 1960s and 1970s and still highly influential in design schools today
Joseph was a Swiss graphic designer, and teacher. He studies architecture, design, and history of art. In 1936 he opened his Zurich studio specialising in graphic design,, exhibitions design and photography. Then on he produced concert posters. From then on he became the editor of New Graphic Design.
He is noted for his simple designs and his clean use of typography.
The designer has been the main view of many articles and a few books, but design historian Purcell (Weegee) provides the most in-depth look yet at his work. He examines Muller-Brockmann's well-known work with grid systems, which forms much of his influence on the Swiss style.
