Adrian Frutiger

frutiger.png

Frutiger, named after its Swiss designer Adrian Frutiger (born 1928), is a typeface, belonging to the family of humanist sans-serif typefaces; see "typeface" for more on classification.

It was originally designed for the then so-called Paris airport Roissy, today Charles De Gaulle International Airport.

Frutiger is considered one of the classics of modern typography and forms the basis of many other modern typefaces, such as Bitstream Vera and Verdana.

In the Bitstream font collection, a font family similar to Frutiger is named Humanist, with Humanist 777 equaling the original Frutiger typeface 'Frutiger 55'.

Linotype, the original publisher of Frutiger has come out in 1999 with a revised version, Frutiger NEXT.
