yeah well. I don't know how that disconnects these from each other nor why you neglect the following statement:
>swiss typographers that arose from 'elementare typographie'
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementare_Typografie
(tfw there is no english wiki entry for elementare typographie?! but at least the original language [german])

>not at the centre of the post-war Swiss International Typographic Style
earlier we established the fact that he was a trailblazer instead of being the main protagonist of later movements - his was the new typography. but I appreciate the reminder!

>by the time it was in full swing he had gone in the opposite direction
exactly!
>by the time it was in full swing
when everything is special, nothing is special anymore! this has always been following trends and curves. what has been true at some point doesn't need to be true at all times in order to contain meaning.

>authoritarian bent, rigid thinkers using nebulous standards, ie references to its "soul" or lack thereof
lol was this your personal crusade against nebulous terms à la *soul* all along or something that you just couldn't stand not mentioning?
I hope you were able to let that steam finally off, brother! by now I know how much that four letter word means to you! but by your definition anything that is not autistic = fascist... (?)

you do realize that your intolerance kinda makes me wanna use the shit out of that term now, right?
there is this vision of a raised forefinger that just nobody really likes in front of my inner eye that kinda screams for *disobedience!*.
ah - forget it! probably not your kind of joke. I am just a retarded ESL faggot - my impure blood (or something)!

>honestly I am surprised your journey into one of many historical designers for the last two days was enough to convince you about the origin of nationalism or spiritual elitism, but I am sure you are totally right!

TIL:
>soul = kinda nazi
