A modern visual interpretation of the first book of the bible where Frutiger weaves his way through color, form, and typography in four languages with an impeccable rhythm. This book features some of Frutiger’s more remarkable abstract illustrations juxtaposed with Univers typography set by Pfäffli. A rare and impeccable example of Swiss design.
