Als Demonstration dafür sind acht a in den meistgelesenen Schriftstilen mit einem Drehraster versehen und übereinander kopiert. Das Resultat zeigt eine erstaunliche Übereinstimmung.

Portrait
We can read because we perceive elements and forms which are familiar to us. So in order to even recognize words, we must first decipher the elements which make up the shapes of the letters – a process which involves the interplay of myriad aspects. To a certain degree, many of us are aware of these aspects. Yet Adrian Frutiger knows about such shifting dynamics in perception in a way no other person can, as he has been instrumental in researching the subject and over several decades [...]
About Linotype Centennial® 55 Roman ...
Designer: Adrian Frutiger, 1986
Linotype Centennial® 55 Roman belongs to the Linotype Centennial® Font Family which is part of the Linotype Originals.
Linotype Centennial™ was designed by Adrian Frutiger and released in 1986 for the celebration of Linotype's 100th anniversary. Frutiger was influenced by Century, a type designed by Linn Boyd Benton and his son Morris F. Benton for the American Type Founders Company at the end of the nineteenth century. Linotype Centennial is quite close in concept to Century, but it also has the characteristic Frutiger enhancements for contemporary elegance and legibility. It has a vertical stress, slightly condensed forms, a tall x-height, and fairly high contrast between thick and thin strokes. Linotype Centennial is available in several weights and includes small caps, Old style Figures, and Central European accents. This sturdy, clean and tasteful font is an excellent choice for books, magazines, and newspapers.
