About the Book
This book is for lovers
Berlintechno was initially designed as a type specimen book to showcase the font, Glypha, designed by Adrian Frutiger in Germany 1979. Glypha led the revival of the English slab serif, just a decade before the revival of East and West Berlin and amorous techno in Germany. When the Berliners and their community talk about the music, the clubs, the people, the movement, the dancing and the city, they talk about love.
This book, like technical music, is designed on a strict, mathematical, grid. Hopefully this book celebrates the work and spirit that is both inspired by and overcomes cold, mechanical, rigid structures to introduce warmth, humanness, emotion and unbounded love.
