Jan Tschichold (1902 - 1974), also known as Iwan or Ivan, was an influential German calligrapher, book designer and typographer. By 1925 he was working independently having been a student and teacher in Leipzig. By 1923 he was strongly influenced by Modernist design following contact with the Bauhaus. He fled Germany due to Nazi persecution in 1933 and settled largely in Switzerland but spent time in the UK during the 1930s and between 1947 and 1949 when he worked on the design of Penguin Books.
