B A U H A U S



i have a new found interest (again) in the HISTORY of graphic design

i learned so many things, so many names and dates and letters and cities...

it all became a blur. so i am re-learning it.


an interesting article:

bauhaus abolished capital letters



at the end of 1925, the bauhaus abolished capital letters in all their printed materials.
the bottom of each piece of bauhaus paper read:


“we only use small characters because it saves time. moreover,
why have 2 alphabets when one will do?
why write capitals if we cannot speak capitals?”
