Designer: Adrian Frutiger
Publisher: Adobe
In 1968, Adrian
Frutiger was commissioned to develop a signs system fit to the architecture of the new Charles de Gaulle Airport outside Paris. His final style for the customer, executed in 1975, is a simple, tidy, robust sans serif type that is highly legible. In 1976,
Frutiger completed the family for the Stempel foundry.
Despite its original objective as airport signage,
Frutiger has a universal quality that makes it appropriate for many applications; a preferred typeface among advertising firms, it is similarly effective in text and display work.
