Walter Nikkels’ designs and sketches for the invitation cards for the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
Typography, the determination of the placement of words and images on the page and the working of these into a visual rhythm, has a certain intimacy – just as opening a book is intimate and for my eyes alone. Due to the typography, letters and words are situated next to, above and below each other, while the image has its modest place among them; and in this way the distinct form of the letters and the words and the images convey the form of the meaning. Typography shows the words or, I should say, typography brings them closer so that they can be read. Walter Nikkels is a master of this. He deals with the material very carefully; that’s visible, it’s his character. One time, on a journey through the Po Valley in winter: mist lingered in the early morning, later the sun came out. The lonely farmhouses lay in fine, filtered, diffused light. On their sunny side the walls were bright pink; the shady side wasn’t much darker and the pink almost as bright. Even so, both sides stood out sharply. Such simple precision and subtlety also characterizes the typography of Walter Nikkels in its fundamental relationships.
