It has a rich history in typographic education. Teachers like Jan Tschichold, Emil Ruder, Armin Hoffman and Wolfgang Weingart were instrumental in making this school a center for modernist typography and education. The Vorkurs (foundation year) is still unique in it&#8217;s very thorough examination of cross discipline basics following the Bauhaus methods.</p> <p>The SfG has 270 full time students and the public courses are visited by over 1000 participants every year.
