Die neue Typographie
This book was a manifesto of modern design, in which he condemned all typefaces but sans-serif
He later condemned Die neue Typographie as too extreme. He also went so far as to condemn Modernist design in general as being authoritarian and inherently fascistic
favoured non-centered design (e.g., on title pages), and codified many other Modernist design rules
Tschichold had converted to Modernist design principles in 1923 after visiting the first Weimar Bauhaus exhibition
