The cover contained an abstract woodcut composed of black rectangles, over which the words De Stijl were drawn in fragmented square capitals. In his foreword, Van Doesburg mentions Vilmos Huszar as the designer of the vignette. It is generally assumed that Huszar also drew the lettering.*</p><p>The only remarkable piece of design in the magazine was the cover, the inside had not been touched by designers, as texts were delivered to the printer and set in standard typefaces.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="5"><b>*Extract from the book &#039;Dutch type&#039; by Jan Middendorp</b></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
