Hans-Christian Pulver
Hans-Christian Pulver (1941*) is a typographer and teacher living in Allschwil near Basel, Switzerland.
While studying typography in the early nineteen-sixties, he came under the tutelage of Emil Ruder, the eminent typographer who eventually became director of the renowned Basel School of Design. During his career as graphic designer, Pulver worked in Switzerland and Germany. He taught letterform design, typography and basic photography at the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad, India, at Werkkunstschule Krefeld in Germany, and at Rhode Island School of Design in Providence (USA).
Pulver’s most extensive teaching period, however, was with the Basel School of Design (1975–2003), where he taught typography in the type workshop, extensively using the school’s repertoire of lead and wood types. Among these was Ruder’s Plakatschrift, which had been created at the end of the 1950s for students’ use at the workshop. Its digital remake is Pulver’s first foray into digital type design.
