Emil Ruder (1914 - 1970), Swiss typographer and graphic designer, who with Armin Hofmann helped to found the Basel School (Schule für Gestaltung Basel) and a graphic style known as the Swiss Style.

Ruder was a contributing writer and editor for Typografische Monatsblätter. Ruder published a basic grammar of typography titled Emil Ruder: Typopgraphy. The text was published first in German, then in English. The book helped spread and propagate the Swiss Style, and became a basic text for graphic design and typography programs in Europe and North America. In 1962 he helped to found the International Center for the Typographic Arts in New York.
