Roland Früh · Hostettler & Typographic Discourse

As the editor of typographic journals Ralf Hostettler moderated discourse in typography and graphic design for almost four decades, always from St.Gallen, but with an international outlook. This talk will focus on how his editorial work influenced developments in typography and graphic design.

Richard Hollis · St. Gallen: Tradition & Innovation

Robin Kinross · Hochuli as Editor, Writer, Publisher
