Frutiger® Next

A Model of Legibility
Legibility with a concise character: this is only the beginning of the fascination of the Frutiger™ typeface. The typeface is a humanist sans serif; its letterforms are based on ideas and proportions that trace their heritage back to the Renaissance (and even earlier). Frutiger and Frutiger Next are not constructed typefaces.

This means that even though the curves of single characters are related to one another, they were designed individually, creating a typeface that is both attractive and dynamic. Emphasized ascenders and descenders increase legibility and smaller lower case letters and numerals improve the flow of characters in a line. Frutiger Next takes it from there, harmonizing the various strokes and widths so that all weights combine perfectly with one another.

Frutiger® Next, along with Avenir® Next, Compatil®, Eurostile® Next, Optima® nova, Palatino® nova, Linotype Univers®, Sabon® Next, and Linotype Syntax®, make up Linotype’s Platinum Collection.
