Graphic design is a wide field in which Wim Crouwel is especially admired for his systematic approach and his creative handling of the Letterforms. Crouwel focused on the legibility of his work. However, when he had to make a choice between readability and aesthetics, he would choose aesthetics. 

“When you're a functionalist you want to make things comprehensible, readable, make your ideas visible. I feel myself being a modernist and a functionalist, but aesthetics always stands in the way,” he said. 

Posters are inspired by his approach, highlighting the perplexity between aesthetics and legibility, and his fascination with computers.

You can't do better design with a computer, but you can speed up your work enormously"  -Wim Crouwel-
