Norm (based in Zurich, Switzerland), is an experimental graphic design team best known for their typography. Their most influential project is typography for Cologne Airport. It is co-founded by two Swiss designers Dimitri Bruni and Manuel Krebs and later joined by Ludovic Varone. [1] Their approach to typography is known to be very strict and rigorous with strong modernist features but with slight references to postmodernism. [2]
Some of their typefaces are Simple (designed independently and then adapted for the design of the Cologne Airport), Normetica, and Replica. [3] Norm was featured in the 2007 documentary about the Helvetica font directed by Gary Hustwit. Some Norm fonts are used by the Lineto digital font foundry co-founded by Cornel Windlin and Stephan Müller. [4]
In 2020 there was an exhibition of norm typefaces and their uses in the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich. [1]
