This title page is, for me, a very inspiring piece of modern typography. What looks to be a geometric typeface is arranged in such a simplistic manner that the hierarchy of the text is clear. The abundance of white space makes what little text is actually on the page more prominent and readable, despite the small point size. The offset faux-spine is completely free, the only element crossing it being the subject of the book's name. The work of Josef Albers, who appears to be part of the Bauhaus movement himself, directly inspires this successful page layout.
