In 1919, the Bauhaus manifest was not in geometric sans serifs but it was in an art nouveau form. Later Herbert Bayer and Joost Schmidt re constructed the type to a geometric type feel.
Herbert Bayer created the design for Bauhaus typeface in 1925. Bauhaus took place during the reform revolution in the 1920’s. The typeface is based on geometric shapes and sizes. Bauhaus is a san serif font meaning it does not have any lines tailing from the edges of the letters. Bauhaus is designed round by the edges not like Helvetica, which is straight giving it a modern abstract feel to the typeface.
I find the topic of books/ e-readers very interesting. Last year my brother surprised me with a Kindle. I purchased my first book and and found myself to be quiet disappointed. I felt the pages were very generic that you see for the most part the same text and page layout. It gave the book 0 characteristic and felt boring in my had. On the other hand I can see why people favor a Kindle because of its capacity of books it holds and the size of it.
Authors and designer spend countless hours of figuring out what the cover will look like, what kind of font are we using, how big/small the font is, what size we should make the actual book, how many pages should their be etc… Holding a book gives you the characteristic feel for the book. A book and how it is produced sets the tone of the book for me. To me books will be around forever.
