Description
In the late 1920s, graphic designer William Addison Dwiggins (1880–1956) developed a rhythmic and delicate visual language composed of tiny geometric elements. He cut these modular shapes into cellophane stencils and used them to create wonderfully complex illustrations in his book designs, including abstract typographic ornaments, elegant architectural motifs, intricate page borders and delightful all-over patterns.
