Neville Brody
Modern-day typography superstar

We often talk about the "greats" in typography -- Goudy, Garamond, and others -- but seldom focus on designers of the late 20th century. Neville Brody has created typefaces that revolutionized the graphic design over the past two decades. He's a British designer and art director, hailing from record cover design. He made his fame through awesome work as Art Director for the Face magazine, then moving on to City Limits, Lei, Per Lui, Actuel and Arena, together with London's The Observer newspaper and magazine.

He has shown that truly creative and different high-quality fonts can still become classics. 1988 Brody published the first of his two monographs , which became the world's best selling graphic design book. Combined sales now exceed 120,000. An accompanying exhibition of his work at the Victoria and Albert Museum attracted over 40,000 visitors before touring Europe and Japan.
