A book devoted to Vogel Gryff, a traditional festival in Basel, featuring drawings by Véronique Filozof and text by Niggi Schoellkopf, with graphic design by Emil Ruder.
In contrast to Filozof’s free and expressive drawings, Ruder employs typography and white space with restraint. Rather than imposing a rigid grid, he creates a rhythm across the pages that responds to the movement of the illustrations.
This book reveals another side of Ruder beyond his typographic work, offering an insight into his editorial sensibility as a book designer.
