Frutiger was developed by Adrian Frutiger and released by Linotype. Frutiger contains 38 styles and household package alternatives. The font style is presently # 29 in Best Sellers. p > In 1968, Adrian Frutiger was commissioned to develop an indication and directional system for the new Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. Though everyone thought he would want to utilize his effective Univers typeface family, Frutiger chose rather to make a new sans serif typeface that would be appropriate for the particular legibility requirements of airport signage: easy recognition from the ranges and angles of driving and walking. The resulting font style was in accord with the modern architecture of the airport.

In 1976, he broadened and completed the household for D. Stempel AG in combination with Linotype, and it was named Frutiger.

The Frutiger family is neither strictly geometric nor humanistic in construction; its types are developed so that each specific character is quickly and easily recognized. Such distinctness makes it great for signs and display work. Although it was originally intended for the large scale of an airport, the full household has a warmth and subtlety that have, over the last few years, made it popular for the smaller sized scale of body text in magazines and brochures.
