Linotype Univers

How it all Started

The Univers® family of fonts designed by Adrian Frutiger more than forty years ago is one of the most innovative type creations of the modern age. Its introduction prompted a reappraisal of the sans serif.
While the forms of the Univers have their roots in the old grotesque types, they also combine features which rebel against the past. They carry in them the knowledge that type is part of the cultural heritage handed down from our forefathers, a heritage which we should neither ignore or alter and which we should pass on to future generations.

Linotype Univers, along with Avenir® Next, Compatil®, Optima® nova, Frutiger® Next, Sabon® Next, Linotype Syntax®, Linotype Syntax® Letter, Linotype Syntax Serif and Vialog® belongs to the typefaces of the Linotype Platinum Collection.
These fonts were carefully digitized and have the high quality demanded by professional typography. All fonts of the Platinum Collection were produced according to the Linotype tradition of quality.
Linotype and its authorized partners offer these fonts only as complete typeface families on Platinum Collections CDs.
