Gudrun Zapf von Hesse: Bindings, Handwritten Books, Typefaces, Examples of Lettering, and Drawing

Ladies: You might not know this, but women have often been overlooked in the fields of graphic design and typography. We don’t know why that is. Maybe it would help if you smile more? She wasn’t necessarily overlooked, but Gudrun Zapf von Hesse is certainly not as well-known as her husband Harmonn. But she demonstrated a rigorous and disciplined approach to everything that she did and consistently demonstrated a consummate technical expertise, precision, and complete devotion to excellence. This book shows her dedication to craft and quality and is the definitive source of examples of her work and her ideas. Required.
