New Typography or established tradition? In the 1920s, typographers fought a fierce battle over the future of typography — and their arguments are surprisingly relevant today.
The Typography Debate makes these historical texts accessible in a digital archive for the first time: manifestos, counter-arguments, and positions by Tschichold, Renner, Moholy-Nagy and many more.

100 years ago, European designers fought one of the most consequential debates in design history — across borders, languages, and movements.
Almost no one can read the original sources today. I'm changing that.
The Typography Debate: a free digital archive of the modernist typography discourse. Manifestos, positions, responses — bilingual and openly accessible.
Because European design history deserves more than footnotes.

Vor 100 Jahren führten europäische Gestalter einen der wichtigsten Diskurse der Designgeschichte — über Grenzen, Sprachen und Bewegungen hinweg, vom Bauhaus über De Stijl bis zum Konstruktivismus.
Heute kann kaum jemand die Originaltexte lesen. Das ändere ich gerade.
Die Typografie-Debatte: ein freies digitales Archiv des modernistischen Schriftstreits der 1920er–1930er. Manifeste, Positionen, Entgegnungen — zweisprachig und frei zugänglich.
