Helvetica Forever is a project of the University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf.

Curated by Lars Müller, Victor Malsy and Philipp Teufel.

Osaka and Tokyo in Japan were the first venues of the exhibition tour in cooperation with DNP.
The next stations will be Sofia (Bulgaria) and Düsseldorf (Germany).

From the early days in 1957 until now ‘Helvetica forever’ presents a wide range of works which prove the intrinsic qualities of Helvetica.

The exhibition comprises about 100 items like advertisments and posters but also includes promotional leaflets from the very beginning as well as documents highlightening Helvetica’s history of origin.

For the second anniversary of Swiss Legacy, this month, we give you “Das Erbe der Schweiz” poster. This poster celebrates the great graphic designers that created the “International Typographic Style” also known as “Swiss Graphic Design”, and also the designers that followed those steps and are still today the last survivors of this legacy.
The designers are (not in order… I let you find): Ernst Keller, Theo Ballmer, Jan Tschichold, Herbert Matter, Max Bill, Emil Ruder, Josef Müller-Brockmann, Paul Rand, Max Huber, Otto Aicher, Armin Hofmann, Adrian Frutiger, Wim Crouwel and Karl Gerstner.
