Max Bill (1908-1994)
The Swiss architect, sculptor, and designer started out as a student with László Moholy-Nagy and Josef Albers at the Bauhaus in Germany. He ended his career as a politician.
In the typefaces he designed as well as all his other creations, he incorporated the principles of the Bauhaus. He was a delegate to the Swiss parliament from 1967 to 1994 - perhaps the only type designer who has become a politician.
