Adrian Frutiger - Typefaces
The Swiss type designer Adrian Frutiger decisively influenced the international creation of typefaces after 1950. All set new standards for signage types. His Univers typeface and the machine-readable font OCR-B are milestones, as is his type for the Paris airports, which evolved into the Frutiger typeface.
Based on conversations with Frutiger himself and on extensive research, this publication provides a highly detailed and accurate account of the type designer's artistic development. In all, he created some fifty types, including Ondine, Méridien, Avenir, and Vectora. All of his types - from the design phase to the marketing stage - are illustrated and analyzed with reference to the technology and related types.
Hitherto unpublished types that were never realized and more than one hundred logos complete the picture.
