Anton Stankowski was a German graphic designer and typographer whose work defined the visual language of postwar modernism in Europe. He developed a systematic approach to letterform design and corporate identity, creating typefaces and graphic systems that prioritized geometric clarity and functional elegance. His influence extended across print design, exhibition design, and industrial graphics throughout the second half of the twentieth century.
