Hans-Christian Pulver
Hans-Christian Pulver (b. 1941) is a typographer and teacher living in Allschwil near Basel, Switzerland. While studying typography in the early 1960s, he was mentored by Emil Ruder, director of the influential Basel School of Design. During his career as graphic designer, Pulver worked in Switzerland and Germany. He taught letterform design, typography and basic photography at the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad, India, at Werkkunstschule Krefeld in Germany, at Rhode Island School of Design in Providence (USA), and at the Basel School of Design (1975-2003), where he taught typography in the type workshop, extensively using the school's repertoire of lead and wood types. Among these was also Ruder's Plakatschrift, which Ruder had created in the 1950s for students' use at the workshop. Its digital remake at Lineto (Ruder Plakatschrift; with Arve Båtevik) is Pulver's first contribution to digital type design. |
