The old Frutiger italic was simply the basic form of the typeface slanted 12 degrees to the right.
The new italic was drawn individually and therefore achieves a flowing line through an improved dynamic between line and curve 
Alte Pinakothek, Munich:The new Frutiger Next guides visitors through the masterpieces of the Alte Pinakothek, whether in small print on brochures, huge characters on posters, or on the signs of the navigational system. And that without a single change having been made to the standard typeface family

Frutiger Next’s AdditionsHarmony of Contrast: A New, “True” Italic An Italic should stand out in a text without falling outside of its borders. It should emphasize passages or words without disturbing the harmony of the whole. The new Italic faces in the Frutiger™ Next family masters walking this tightrope with ease. The secret behind the Italic is the particular dynamic of its contours, which in turn harmonize perfectly to those of the upright fonts. Some Italic letterforms have been redesigned; they are not simply “obliqued” letters, e.g., a, g, q, etc. 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. These fonts were carefully digitized, and have the high quality demanded by professional typography. All fonts in the Platinum Collection were produced according to the Linotype tradition of quality. Linotype and its authorized partners offer these fonts as Platinum Collections CDs or as single fonts or value packs. |
