Summary

Mid-century Swiss poster using only black sans-serif type on light ground to announce an exhibition "der Umbau geht weiter" with dates and details.

Visual description

Off-white background. Large title "der Umbau" stacked vertically on left, "geht weiter" horizontal to the right. Below, three lines "für die für den für das" aligned left, next to "Frau Mann Kind". Small text at bottom left lists dates "Montag den 18. Februar bis Freitag den 22. Februar 1963" and "bleibt der ABM". Right side has "geschlossen". Small ABM Biel logo at bottom. Generous spacing, strict alignment.

Key takeaway

Mastery of asymmetric yet balanced Swiss grid typography. Hierarchy created purely through size, weight and position without decoration.

Reuse notes

Definitive reference for Swiss design, exhibition graphics or corporate communications. Demonstrates power of type-only solutions. Excellent for clean, professional print work.
