Wim Crouwel is a dutch graphic designer, known for founding the design agency, Total Design (now, Total Identify, and creating famous typefaces such as the New Alphabet and Stedelijk.
Courwel was born in the Netherlands in 1928. He was both an Extremist painter and a functionalist designer. He designed the New Alphabet after noticing that the digital production of existing typefaces were not being produced correctly. The New Alphabet was a highly abstract form, consisting of a dot-matrix system. The New Alphabet was able to fit any grid system, making it widely popular and usable.
