Walter F. Haettenschweiler (1933–2014) is one of Switzerland’s most productive title and poster type designers.
In the period from 1954 to 1972 he created many typefaces and typeface logos and created redesigns of older typefaces. He is best known as a creator of titling typefaces that stood out from the mainstream of his time. As early as his training as a graphic designer in the 1950s, he created the legendary Schmalfette Grotesk font which later gained cult status and was used as Microsoft’s system font.
The artist and collector was an enthusiast and earned his living through the daily graphic work he carried out in his “Advertising and Design Studio” for companies in the Zug region and national institutions.
The exhibition shows for the first time the entire work of the charismatic Swiss designer.
The Lettera works, edited with Armin Haab, containing their own character designs and re-edited versions, have been noticed around the world.
