Utopia, Dokumente der Wirklichkeit is a 1921 Weimar art and philosophy anthology from Utopia Verlag, edited by Bruno Adler with Bauhaus-linked contributors Johannes Itten and Oskar Schlemmer. Its pages mix typographic experiments, mystical diagrams and a colour wheel, and a designer can take from them a bold typographic layout built from blocks of colour and heavy sans-serif letterforms, with geometric diagrams and a twelve-hue colour sphere as reference for palette and structure.
