typography isn't the new anything. it's been the core of graphic design since the beginning.

yeah, i know that, but it seems people are getting back into it, as opposed to graphics. (eg the whole 'vector" thing a couple of years back)

"Between 1926 and 1929, he designed a "universal alphabet" to clean up the few multigraphs and non-phonetic spellings in the German language. For example, he devised brand new characters to replace the multigraphs "ch" and "sch". His intentions were to change the spelling by systematically replacing "eu" with "oi", "w" with "v", and "z" with "ts". Long vowels were indicated by a macron below them, though the umlaut was still above. The alphabet was presented in one typeface, which was sans-serif and without capital letters."
why would he leave out capitals when pitching a new alphabet?
