Wolfgang Weingart

Wolfgang Weingart (1941 - ) is a Swiss graphic designer who is acclaimed for his work in typography. He also works with graphics and plays with the unity of the two. He is well known as the father of Swiss Punk typography which is a style that somewhat sacrifices legibility for visual appeal. Essentially, Weingart creates the text into a graphic through serious manipulation of its form. He is greatly concerned with the overall composition of his work and how the various parts work with one another to become a single image. Even when there is a lot of content, somehow, he makes it all work together using color, line, and the repetition of pattern.

Here are some pieces of his work:
