What other designers said about her:
Stefan Sagmeister says “Marian is one of the most innovative typographers working today. She understands how to create historical sense in the present and onwards into the future.” [march 06]
Rick Valicenti says “Marian Bantjes is perhaps the most important, conceptually complete designer of our time. not only does her form making resonate with the spirit of this moment, her writings reverberate with laser-sharp clarity and gut-busting insight amidst culture’s din. oh, marian also sets a beautiful page of type, is a sweetheart to collaborate with and is socially enigmatic.” [march 06]
Michael Bierut says “Marian’s work is absolutely personal, alarmingly obsessive and embarrassingly sensuous, which is what I like about it.” [jan 08]
