ABOUT

Paul Peter Piech

Paul Peter Piech (b. Brooklyn, NY, 1920, d. 1996) was a poster and linocut artist who spent most of his professional career in Britain. He produced a large number of original prints on social, political and literary themes over five decades, combining innovative lettering with original artwork and bold colours in a unique style. Concerned with social and racial injustice and annoyed by some political classes and Richard Nixon in particular, he is known for a print of Nixon with the word dicktator inscribed above.

Typefaces influenced by his lettering:

• Peich (2018, Robert Young). A free linocut style font.
• Pieches (2019, Erica Jung and Ricardo Marcin). A commercial typeface that also emulates the linocut style of Piech.
