Typologie Vert

Following the success of previous editions dedicated to French, Swiss, and British typographic design, the Typologie series expands its scope with a new and significant volume: Typologie Vert. This latest edition turns its attention to the German typographic landscape, presenting an unprecedented selection that sets a new benchmark for the collection.

Initiated by renowned typographer Erik Spiekermann, Typologie is conceived as an ongoing reference tool for designers, typographers, and professionals in the fields of visual communication and publishing. With its fourth installment, the project continues to evolve while broadening its perspective: 100 typefaces from 50 foundries are featured in Typologie Vert, marking a new record for the series.

The edition is designed by the Paris-based studio Recto Verso Studio, which brings a clear, functional, and visually distinctive approach to the project. Presented in a unique 60 × 200 mm format, the typographic color chart is intentionally designed as a working tool rather than a static object—supporting everyday practice in design, typography, and publishing environments.

The visuals for this edition are created by Carmi Grau. She brings her distinctive approach to Typologie Vert, blending typography and illustration into vibrant, organic compositions that add a more expressive layer to the project.

Typologie Vert offers not only an overview of contemporary type design in Germany, but also a condensed perspective on a country long recognized for its typographic precision and creative innovation.

With this new edition, the Typologie series continues its development as a visual archive, a practical tool, and a platform for exploring international typographic practices.
