TyPoesie Nicolaus Ott: angewandte und freie Kunst

For decades, Nicolaus Ott has set stylistic standards for contemporary design in the field of visual communication. His graphic work is committed to the objective systematics embodied by the Bauhaus; it is at once timeless and modern, traditional and avant-garde, restrained and determined, clear and multi-layered. He starts from aesthetic norms and design laws based on typographic constructions.

His unmistakable handwriting immediately catches the eye of the viewer: using type, images, lines, surfaces and typography, Nicolaus Ott has found an independent language to convey information in a way that makes sense. One focus of his work is posters, an interplay between clarity and mystery, stunningly inspiring.
