Jan Tschichold (1902-1974) was one of the most noted type and book designers of the 20th century. He is remembered most for his two-year stint with Penguin Books (1947-1949), during which he established Penguin’s characteristic design identity, and for his typefaces Transit (1931), Saskia (1931/1932), Zeus (1931) and Sabon (1966/1967).
