Assignment 7: Modern Typefaces—Bauhaus Universal, Times New Roman, and Futura, in the lens of “The Crystal Goblet”
In postwar Europe in the 1920’s, there was a movement to understand and improve communication by
intellectuals and people of good faith to avoid the horrific carnage of the Great War just past. Lives
were lost or destroyed by the millions and any number of different ideas were tried and tested to see if
there were any possible ways of discovering any means of avoiding “the Next War”. Ideas and idealism
created a brave new world of fashionable Socialism and even of Communism among the intellectuals
and leaders of Europe as a form of reaction against the destruction of war and of the conflict of empires.
Of many ideas in the marketplace, one potential way of improving communication was to develop a
new, better means of conveying information, and here the typographers could contribute. In Germany,
and also in England, there were efforts made to create new typefaces for the dominant media of the
day, print, and improvements in print technology could be seen as part of the larger effort to find a
means to avoid misunderstandings in the future.
Herbert Bayer was a gifted and early student
of the Bauhaus, who at 25 became a very
talented teacher and typographer, and as
professor of Printing and Typography and in-
house printer the Bauhaus organization circa
1926 lead by Walter Gropius, even at that
young age Bayer became an integral part of
the Bauhaus Movement, uniquely influential
as a printer poised for the future. In Bayer’s
creation of a typeface lies a much deeper
story of the rise of Modernism in typography and the beginning of the Modernist movement, with
brilliant personalities and minds of men such as Gropius, Maholy-Nagy, Kandinsky, Tschichold, and Van
der Rohe teaching along with men who are less on the popular radar, but very much distinguished,
influential artists who the Modernist movement flourished through.
Hillers, 2
I will be discussing these people, needs, and criteria briefly to come to some answers and context
regarding three fonts which became revolutionary, and why Times New Roman survived to become
wildly commercially successful, Futura has enjoyed a successful run as a sans-serif face because it is
designed later, taking its audience into account for a moderated design change, and Universal fell short
of the idealism and dream of a universal typeface remained remarkable, but not successful, typeface,
but a successful precursor design for other sans-serif designs. It is my contention that the degree of
idealism and radicalism used by the artist designing his typeface had a direct effect on its success and
acceptance.
Designed in an increasingly chaotic outside world in Europe between the wars, these three fonts were
successors of each other in some ways, and independent of each other in others; but they all were
attempts to answer a need for a world that was going ever faster, and needed a faster tool to
communicate with in the dominant news medium of the day, the newspaper, books, and posters. Each
successively better learned from the design mistakes of the other, leading to a much debated discussion
of the virtues of typography being “transparent” in the media in 1936 London. It is this context and the
men who were the artists who changed typography significantly since their invention of Times New
Roman, Futura, and Bauhaus Universal that changed how we all read text, even to this day.
Bayer in 1926 was a brilliant student of Lazlo
Maholy-Nagy who had come full circle to become the
professor of printing at Bauhaus-Dessau, instead of
the student at age 26. It is one of those small
accidents of daily life which created a genesis of
Bauhaus Universal serendipitously-- Kandinsky’s
sixtieth birthday celebration gala, was planned by
Gropius, and as a last minute job, the Director forgot
that he needed to do publicity posters for the exhibition and gala.1 Bauhaus Universal was Bayer’s
answer… Bayer was challenged create a typeface that represented the shared ideas of constructivism
with internationalism in the Bauhaus faculty in a typeface which could be used internationally to
engender ease of reading by all people. But it had some obvious flaws in design as one constructed as a

brainchild of one man, who followed an idealistic program to create a typeface that could be legible to
all, a philosophical use which was driven by internationalism and was driven by Bayer’s teachers and
employers as patrons, and was directly used as a form of logotype or symbol of the school and what its’
beliefs and ethos were. –this is a wry “no pressure” situation for a young man simply trying to keep in
a new job, working for his former professors and one assumes, heroes as well, to be certain.
Universal as first invented is given form and also suffers from entire
use of geometric primitives, Bayer created his design out of an overt
need given by his patrons to follow the always seductive challenge
to many typographers and calligraphers to create a “perfect”
typeface/lettering system with a compass, a ruler, and scribing tool
on a support alone. Universal is a contemporary to Esperanto in
language, and both suffer from too much good intent, with too many
influences to the confusion of the original goal of being a universal
system of communication.2 Because of that idealism and the
strictures put on him in design that were self-imposed, Bayer created an unbalanced system of letters
based on a single counter size held in approximately normal golden section box with only miniscule
letters, no majuscules at all, and a single text block and single convention interstitial spacing and for
ascenders and descenders. As well-intentioned as Universal was, and as solid a foundation for other
lettering systems to come, Universal unfortunately can appear childish, and it’s lack of compensation for
letters such trapped inside an unchangeable space give “m” or “w” the same space as ‘n” a very
cramped “k” and all descenders with a very short interval of descent, which can leave a reader confused
and spending more time trying to decipher what letter is which. . Another flaw generally is that the
contrast between the thinness of the ascender letters and the circularity of the “O”’s and rounded
letters is too great to be practical as well. Not having tails to ground the rounded letters for “b”, “d”, is
also cited as being a critical disadvantage. The general impression of Universal is one that is unbalanced
and awkward, and somewhat childish in its use. The font suffered further indignities by becoming a
favorite font of the hippy movment and getting a cultural label as the font of the flower children of the
late 60's as well, probably for its links to the peace movement in internationalism.
This possible confusion was addressed in the years to follow by more sound and more carefully created
“grotesk” styles of letters such as are detailed in period muster books of German typefaces, and

redesigned recently by such notables as Hermann Zapf in URW Grotesk, and Futura is directly a
successor in design elements and theory to Universal and other German Grotesk letter families, all
designed by Modernists who wished to take Germany out of its fraught and laden past as an imperialist
nation whose cultural identity was founded in no small measure on the several Gothic typefaces used to
nationalist advantage by the Second Reich for propaganda purposes. This overt use of letting as a
national symbol lead to the attempts to have Germans abandon Gothic after the Great War, with
predictable blowback from people who had read Gothic all their lives, and in a xenophobic time when
admitting any foreign idea was an admission of the loss in the war and guilt by extension, which was for
many of the German people in light of the barbaric terms of the Treaty of Versailles, defeatist and
hopeless after the war, and thus politically and socially charged and even more awkward and gauche.
The inappropriateness politically of a new school dictating massive cultural change who was barely
tolerated by the taxpayers of the district around it in the first place.
Any sans-serif typeface would have been considered rude and unpatriotic, but Universal with its socialist
baggage from the Bauhaus faculty would have received a particularly chilly reception during the 1920’s
in Weimar Republic Germany. In terms of one of the defining exhortations of the period, Wardes’
Crystal Goblet speech, Universal is too much involved in its own message of internationalism and
academic philosophy to be understood as a messenger alone without leaving a definite bias on the
message it is carrying. In its’ origins and philosophy, Bauhaus Universal cannot be a transparent
typeface, because it was designed from the beginning to be a message inherent in itself.
Patrick Cramsie affirms this rendition of Bayer’s creation in his discussion of the roots of Modernism in
Chapter twelve through thirteen of his book, and his argument informs some parts of the rest of this
paper. During the time of the Bauhaus, it was a hotbed of active Modernists and their allies, along with
the philosophy’s roots of Modernism’s growth and expansion. Cramsie discusses Modernist philosophy
not by name, but as an umbrella term for all the other “-isms” that drove the academic and philosophic
art community of the 1900-1930 era, even as he largely lauds Modernism, Cramsie himself cannot help
lampooning the early modernist movements such as Futurism somewhat by portraying Marinetti in
Chapter 12 as a bit of a crank for his complete dismissal of the past and childish love of anything fast as
being worth emulation.
The use of an “unpatriotic” and unappealing non-traditional font from Gothic Fraktur, Sans-Serif in
German is still referred to as “Grotesk”, also created waves against the new school. Bayer and his
supporters claimed that using a sans serif font was much more useful and legible than traditional gothic
Hillers, 5
fonts for German. He also gracelessly (in)famously maintained that nationalism and four hundred years
of cultural tradition are poor arguments for maintaining the status quo pro ante regarding typography,
confirming him and his supporters as even more revolutionary Young Turks when it would have been
better if they would have kept their heads down. Constructivist and Positivist theoretical lines for art
was still alarming enough to the local magistrates who had to fund it to constantly threaten to withdraw
funding for the school, it certainly contributed to the perception that the Bauhaus was a group of leftist
cultural elitists and internationalists who were likely communist sympathizers and not to be trusted or
funded as a school and was so completely offensive to the National Socialists by 1933 to demand a
complete revision of the curriculum, but Mies van der Rohe as director, with the support of the staff,
closed the school instead, and emigrated to America with a few others following, but a number of the
staff or were made persona non gratia or worse in the years of Nazism to come.
The next place to visit on this exploration is London, in 1932, at the Times press room and typographer’s
office. In London, up to and leading up to 3 October1932 Stanley Morison, Victor Lardent (and possibly
Starling Burgess), worked as a design team for the Times of London to renovate the hodge-podge of
typefaces used to print the newspaper into a more legible and pleasing copy that took oil-based ink
better and faster3
As a tribute to the design team’s success over time; the typeface is one of the most used in the
world since Microsoft started using it as one of their standard typefaces for Word, and for their other
products. When it was created, Times New was greeted with less than enthusiasm, and professional
type designers pooh-pooh it as too overused, and not technically meritorious because of the digital
“cheats” used in modern displays on computers and online. There are movements among elites to “not
use Times, nor Bauhaus Universal, nor Comic Sans” that are as polemic and mean-spirited as any other
movement of stuffy purists. That mentioned, Times New is the most ubiquitous modern script on a
webpage one can find, it is fairly easy on the eyes, has an appeal to historic printed documents, and was
a notable improvement on the legibility and clarity of the Times of London from the day of first founding
and printing that helped the circulation of the times and kept its standing as a great newspaper .4

Times New has the advantage of a precursor script Plantin from which Victor Lardent at the English
office of Monotype had to work from (or away from, rather), after an article criticizing the shopworn
look and printing quality of the Times was written earlier in 1931 by Stanley Morison.5 Morison himself
was a talented typographer who had much experience as a book design editor for Penguin and for his
own consulting business before contracting with Monotype in 1927. He was also credited with the
revival of Baskerville and Bembo along with other typefaces before consulting on the creation of Times
Roman in 1931-2.6
In London, up to and leading up to 3 October
1932 Stanley Morison, Victor Lardent (and
possibly Starling Burgess), worked as a design
team for the Times of London to renovate the
hodge-podge of typefaces used to print the
newspaper into a more legible and pleasing
copy that took oil-based ink better and faster.
As a serif typeface, Times New Roman creates
an aura of respect for the words written with
it. Because it is “easy to read but is also
described as open, gentlemanly, and even boring”. These qualities make Times very readable, and
almost unsurpassed as a Font for hard copy print, which is why average people and professionals still
use it time and time again for that purpose.7 The elements of style and construction that differentiate
Times from other fonts are best shown rather than explained by a graphic below:

The literature on Times does not go into these design points well, probably because the font is
still under copyright and licensing agreements, but the amount of work involved in creating a font with
these refinements and adjustments to earlier Roman fonts to create a reader’s font which performs well
technically in mass production yet condense the size of the words it creates to make it economical for
printing on paper because of its vertical oblique base spacing unit. The interesting part of these
innovations to a hand-written calligraphic hand are that none of the ears or shoulders nor tails of a
Times font set can be naturally calligraphed with a pen and ink –these are all ‘artificial’ forms and solely
typographic, yet on first impression, Times New Roman looks like a calligraphic Roman alphabet.
Lardent and Morison in their work during the ten year span of the scope of our discussion of
typography also ultimately had the task of creating a much more legible and readable ‘universal’
typeface that could convey the ever quicker pace of news and information. Times New Roman was
purpose designed to be a “transparent” script, ubiquitous, yet pleasing to the eye and unobtrusively
transparent for all its serifs, details, and swashes in a way that Beatrice Warde would likely praise in her
calls for simplicity of the messenger so that the message could be read easily and through without
interference by the typography. This is why it is still used in books and online to this day and adapted to
many different languages.
The growth of the more regular forms of Grotesk fonts in
Germany in the ‘20’s lead to a similarity of form and easy
legibility that created a demand for the fonts, in spite of how
strange they looked to more traditional readers used to Fraktur
Gothic fonts and their resulting unpopularity among older and

more conservative German readers. Paul Renner resolved to create a font in the period 1927-30 that
ran more “middle of the road” on appearance and strove for legibility, but not for theoretical geometric
perfection. Renners’ font family became Futura, a simple geometric typeface that also embraced the
reader’s experience over the typographer’s initial desire to create a “purer” typeface .
“Kinross names Futura as ‘the typeface “accepted by the new typographers as the most
satisfactory of the new (twentieth-century) sanserifs. Drawings and trial settings of the
typeface date from 1925, and it was first issued commercially in 1927. […] The
achievement of Futura was of a typeface that satisfied both the desire for a geometrical
typeface, constructed with ruler and compass, and for a typeface that composed well as
text, over a whole range of sizes. 9
Futura is legible because it leaves little to guessing, and no
ornamentation at all to distract from the message. The bodies of
the letters are direct and very geometric, based on a circle and
sections of that circle or at times a slight ellipse, and straight
lines, pared down in places to reduce the effect of blockiness or
heaviness with a noticeable negative space that gives Futura a
nice balance that is also designed to adhere to Warde’s
admonition for modern typefaces to be ‘transparent’. Opposed
to Calibri, the typeface of this text, and a stylistic descendent of
Futura, the ascenders and descenders are slightly but also
noticeably longer which requires more spacing between lines, but also aids the eye by giving it less to
read at once.
“The book typographer has the job of erecting a window between the reader inside the room and that landscape which is the author's words. He may put up a stained-glass window of marvelous beauty, but (it is) a failure as a window; that is, he may use some rich superb type like text gothic that is something to be looked at, not through.”

Beatrice (Becker) Warde was a typographer, scholar and groundbreaking feminist who stood in the
London art world as a luminary in her own right. She received a degree at Columbia in typography and
calligraphy and after graduation she found a job as assistant librarian at the American Type Founders
Company, in the course of her work there, she met Daniel Berkeley Updike and Stanley Morison, who
became very influential in her later life. She married Frederic Warde in 1922 who was the head of the
Princeton University Press and was also a gifted typographic designer in his own right, but after they had
agreed to move to London in 1925, the Wardes divorced amicably. Warde then ghost wrote by
pseudonym a documentary of her discovery (in English literature) of the work of Claude Garamond and
the typeface associated with him. This series of books won "Paul Beaujon", her alias, a job at the
Monotype Corporation, much to the surprise of the men at Monotype, Beatrice accepted the job for her
pseudonym and Monotype kept its integrity by hiring her as an editor, and then promoting Warde to the
post of Publicity manager in 1929
After publishing her discovery of Garamond's origin, was in 1927 offered the part-time post of editor of
the Monotype Recorder, and Warde accepted—to the astonishment of Monotype executives in London,
who were expecting a man. She was promoted to publicity manager in about 1929, and stayed on in
that job until 1960. During this time she also was associated with The Fleuron group, like many of the
London typographers here, who took active parts in the creation and writing of the journal Fleuron (later
edited by Stanley Morison) in London as a school of typographers and typography scholars with Warde
as one leading light, and Paul Renner as the unofficial leader of an ad hoc group of likeminded and
talented typographers that “school” can only be applied loosely to, but no less a school of thought.11
In 1934, this circle of colleagues and friends met to share and network and also to listen to Warde’s
latest paper to be given. The Crystal Goblet became a defining moment in the art history of 20th century
typography. Calling for clarity of message over the design of the messenger of type and of media, she
exhorted her friends and colleagues to aim for ‘transparency’ and to remain true professionals at their
craft.
Vulgar ostentation is twice as easy as discipline. When you realize that ugly typography
never effaces itself; you will be able to capture beauty as the wise men capture

happiness by aiming at something else. Nobody (save the other craftsmen) will
appreciate half your skill. But you may spend endless years of happy experiment in
devising that crystalline goblet which is worthy to hold the vintage of the human mind. -
Beatrice Ward
Warde’s words in light of the three typefaces discussed in this paper are even more relevant. All
of them attempted to make communication better and easier for masses of people. Bayer was more
self-conscious and more driven by his patron’s desire for an overtly universal text style driven by
ideology, and became less than successful because of the meta-message it freighted in its curious and
sometimes less aesthetic, more difficult details. This degree of complexity and disregard of the culture
in which Universal became more the complex message than the transparent messenger created friction
and made Universal a lesser used font. Times New Roman was also driven by a patron who sought
several functions out of a new text style, but was also driven by one of its own artists in a curious
conflict of interest where Stanley Morison criticized the Times of London for its type style, yet ended up
consulting on its eventual replacement. That he and the primary designer for the Times: Lardent,
succeeded, is now commercial history because Monotype still licenses Times New Roman to the
computers of the world because of its easy clarity and indeed, its transparency to the average reader.
As many critics like to complain, it is so ubiquitous that we often fail to really notice it. Morison was a
friend of Wardes’ but he adhered to the tenets of the Fleuron group out of his own opinions and
methods of work. Paul Renner was an uneasy ally in the constructivist internationalist
philosophical movement of the Bauhaus, yet Renner and Tschichold would not take part
directly in any part of the Bauhaus, but rather in a parallel and more conventional movement
that involved other typographers in like affiliations to the Fleuron group in London with like
goals, Morison and Warde, Renner and Tschichold, and likely other like-minded typographers
attempted to put the ideals behind the Crystal Goblet to work in both Europe and America as
their abilities and powers of persuasion gave them scope. As Warde articulated in the Crystal
Goblet and her other scholarly writings, Tschichold also articulated a clear vision of what his
group aimed for in his New Typography:
>Asymmetric balance of elements>Content designed by hierarchy>Intentional white space utilization
Hillers, 11
>Sans serif typography12
Viewed through the lens which Warde offers us in an ethic of putting the content and message out front
of the media that carries it in such a way that typography is servant, not so much partner to the
publication of printed materials, these rules balance and summarize some of Warde’s theories while
remaining true to their own school of Modernism, which is a unifying and overarching theory of how the
world might still become a better place though different professions and disciplines casting off the past
to begin a new future based on universalism and cooperation. In these three typographers and their
work, there is a lot to be discovered about how effective they were at achieving these goals, and how
enduringly each of them did contribute to the future they hoped to influence by standing back and
letting the message be carried seamlessly on their typefaces, though “no one appreciates half their skill”
to this day.
