‘I Am a Functionalist Troubled by Aesthetics’ — Wim Crouwel Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Muscle Tank

“I am a functionalist troubled by aesthetics.” Wim Crouwel co-founded the Amsterdam studio Total Design and drew his 1967 New Alphabet from letterforms built entirely on the grid, imagining screens years before they could render them. Colleagues nicknamed him “Mr. Gridnik” for that devotion, and for two decades he gave Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum its crisp, systematic look, catalogue by catalogue and poster by poster.
