Project Description:
Josef Muller-Brockmann was a Swiss graphic designer and teacher, mostly recognised for his simple designs and his clean use of typography, notably Helvetica. His shapes and colours have inspired many graphic designers in the 21st century, and made him one of the main precursors of the International Typographic Style, also known as Swiss Style.This visualization, produced by Quentin Delobel, is the result of a personal web research about Josef Muller-Brockmann and the international typographical style. It contains 3 key elements: (1) the research of information on the web, (2) chronological information on Josef Muller-Brockmann's life and links to the last part, and finally the last part (3) is composed of a critical article based on information found online. The project is in french.

Hi Gelbert. The project is not about the link between Brockmann and Helvetica. It's more about Brockmann and the international style. Helvetica is a consequence of the ideas of the International style.

Akzidenz-Grotesk was originally released by the H. Berthold AG type foundry in 1898 and was a strong precedent for Max Miedinger's 1957 typeface Neue Haas Grotesk, which was renamed Helvetica in 1960.
Hope that clears that up.
