Liga Ornaments

This work is part of a B.A. Thesis entitled „the sin of decoration“, in which the gender constructions inherent in modernism and the role played by the rejection of the decorative in relation to this, is revealed. By analyzing design-theoretical texts from a feminist design-historical standpoint, the positioning of the term decorative was revisited in a critical way. „[...]Typography and decoration – is nonsense.“ is a quote by Max Bill from 1953, directly inspiring the Liga Typeface.
