Hans Eduard Meier of Switzerland
Born: Horgen am Zürichsee, Switzerland, 1922
Swiss designer who worked with Stempel in the late 1960s, creating that most humanist of sanserifs, Syntax, a type whose influence is clear in Spiekermann’s Meta and its followers.
Meier taught typeface design and graphic arts at Kunstgewerbeschule in Zürich for 36 years.
Although he retired in 1986, Meier continues to design new typefaces and publish them through the Elsner+Flake Digital Library.
