The typeface design "Diverse" is a reaction to Herbert Bayer's classic typeface "Universal".
"Universal" uses exclusively straight lines and circles. This rigid formal program prevents
different individuals from expressing themselves in their own personal style.
"Diverse" advances the thesis that something can only be classified as universal
if it allows for a while range of different styles, and does not reduce
everything to one single form.
