German type designer, born in Frankfurt-an-der-Oder in 1921, d. 2008. He fought in World War II and lost his leg in a battle in France. Starting in 1941, Lange studied as apprentice of Georg Belwe at the Academy of Graphic and Book Arts in Leipzig. After graduation in 1945, until 1949, he was assistant of Professor Walter Tiemann, while also practicing painting and graphic design independently. In 1949, he continued his studies with Professors Hans Ullmann and Paul Strecker at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in West Berlin. From 1950 onwards, he worked at Berthold AG in Berlin, where he designed his first type, Arena in 1951. In 1955, he became Reader in Typography at the Meisterschule für Graphik, Druck und Werbung in West Berlin. One of his many students was Manfred Klein. He also was Advisor in Visual Communications and Reader at the U5 Academy of Graphic Design and Art Direction Munich, and Instructor at the School of Applied Art in Vienna.
H. Berthold AG's artistic director from 1961 to 1990, Lange was responsible for the creation and meticulous production of many of Berthold's typefaces. According to Dieter Hofrichter, his motto was 8 point is the moment of truth (when proofing typefaces). In 1989 he received the Frederic W. Goudy Award from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Recipient of the year 2000 TDC medal. After ten years of retirement from his position as Berthold AG's artistic director, Lange resumed his design activities in 2000 at Bertholdtypes (now Berthold Direct Inc) in Chicago. Lange's own designs include his revivals of many classical typefaces. Here is a list, all Berthold typefaces: Yvonne Schwemer-Scheddin writes a day after his death: Dear type friends, yesterday morning, the 2nd of December 2008, Günter Gerhard Lange died, 87 years old. We lost an upright, steadfast fighter for quality in type design. Not only Berthold's artistic director, but a friend and objective adviser to many who needed personal help or an evaluation in type design.
For Berthold GGL "enhanced" many type designs of other well known type designers. His valued critizism was a great help, because it came from a positively tuned man. GGL transferred the lead heritage and its classical type typefaces into photocomposition and into the digital format on a high aesthetic and historically authentic level - as for instance Garamond or Van Dijk. Akzidenz-Grotesk is not thinkable without GGL. Bodoni Old Face one of the best contemporary text typefaces. With his sans serif Imago you can be different and yet classical. And the Americans should be pleased with the revival of Deepdene, which he also turned into a well working textface with a distinct character. But perhaps most important of all, he relentlessly encouraged the young, teaching and talking up to almost the end. Thus opening fences, eyes and hearts to art, architecture, literature and for the values of studies and love for the correct details without which the whole would not function. He was a rare communicator, because he lived his convictions and values.
He became an example, a light of orientation. We lost a passionate type lover and expert---an authentic man. An era has come irreversible to its end. Credit for some images below: Danielle West.

The catalogue is true eye candy for designers, showing full-page photographs of the work of dutch graphic design master Wim Crouwel. The visual stream is interrupted from time to time to give credit to the work shown in the pictures. In the center of the book there is a long interview with Wim Crouwel, conducted by Tony Brook. A nice break as after seeing so much amazing work; it is obvious that readers will want to know more about Crouwel.The book is now sold out.
But Unit Editions has released a digital version of the catalogue as a free iPad app, for those who did not have the change to get the book. Or for those like me who cannot get enough of Wim Crouwel’s work. Even though the iPad app follows the graphic structure of the book, it is not a mere PDF reproduction of the book’s content. This makes me very happy. Despite some smaller issues, I am positively surprised how great this app is. This is how designers should be thinking about delivering information; not trying to mimic a printed book. Just like in the printed book you get to see full size photographs of the work alongside some details. The caption is very discreet in the top right corner that can be expanded if you want to know more about a specific piece. But it is also possible just to visually enjoy all the work. In addition, there is a video of the interview with Wim Crouwel, when the app is browsed horizontally, and the interview text – which also is contained in the printed book – if you are browsing the app vertically.
