Published quarterly from 1958-1965 (17 issues, 18 numbers; issue 17/18 was a double issue), Neue Grafik was the most important journal responsible for disseminating contemporary and historical Swiss functional design ideas and philosophies. The journal’s sparse cover, rigorous structure and four-column grid (which extends to the interior pages) is designed entirely of text; meant to inform rather than illustrate the issues content.

Lohse, Pure Photo-Graphic Design by Georg Radanowicz, Exhibition of Asbestos Cement Tubes by Margit Staber, SWB Design Forum 1962 by Peter Lehner, Permanent Braun Pavilion by LMNV, Book Jackets of the Thirties by Richard P. Lohse, and A Painter Who Is His Own Graphic Designer (Almir Mavignier) by Margit Staber. Full-page advertising by Gerstner + Kutter, Swissair and others.
