Gerrit Noordzij

Gerrit Noordzij (1931–2022) was one of the eminent Dutch graphic designers and (in all senses) writers. He was also a path-breaking teacher at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, where from 1970 to 1990 he directed the course in letter design. Among the students from his classes are some of the most distinguished Dutch type and graphic designers. As a writer of essays and books, his works include the bulletin Letterletter (reissued in book form in 2000), De handen van de zeven zusters (2000), and The stroke.
