When the Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport was being planned in Paris in the early 1970s, it was clear that the signage needed to be set in a clear and legible typeface.
The development of the navigational system was left to Adrian Frutiger and the result was so effective that the demand for the typeface rose, for general printing as well as navigational systems. The typeface entered the Linotype Library in 1977 under the name Frutiger™. It set a new standard not ony for signage, but everywhere [...]
Legibility with a concise character: this is only the beginning of the fascination of the Frutiger typeface. The typeface is based on old face forms and proportions, but is not constructed, rather, places emphasis on form.
That means that even though the curves of single characters are related to one another, they were designed individually, creating a typeface which is both attractive and dynamic. Emphasized ascenders and descenders increase legibility and smaller lower case letters and [...]
About Frutiger® Next Ultra Light Italic ...
Designer: Adrian Frutiger / Linotype Design Studio, 2000
Frutiger® Next Ultra Light Italic belongs to the Frutiger® Next Font Family which is part of the Platinum Collection.
Frutiger™ Next is Adrian Frutiger's and Linotype's completely new interpretation of the well known typeface Frutiger released in 2000. The family is available in two versions: OpenType, or traditional font formats (PostScript and TrueType). For these revised forms, the areas of application are almost limitless. Frutiger Next can be used for anything from office communications to multimedia to complex printed materials.The OpenType Version
Here is a "Frutiger" family with small caps, oldstyle figures, and other figure options in every font; Western, Central, and Eastern European glyph coverage is included as well! Adrian Frutiger's eponymous typeface has been used for decades, everywhere from airport signage to book text to corporate logos to the smallest web graphics. Now, customers may order Frutiger Next in OpenType format as well. The OpenType family has seven weights -- an Extra Light weight was created just for the OpenType release -- each in Regular, Italic, and Condensed variants-that's 21 fonts in all! Plus, the fonts include more robust character sets, thanks to their OpenType programming.
The Italics in the original version of Frutiger were based very closely on the Roman forms; in Frutiger Next, they have been re-designed to be true Italics.
The "Traditional" Version
A system of 18 weights, with priority being placed on retaining the aesthetic aspects of the original characters while optically adjusting the contrast between weights: PostScript and TrueType versions of Frutiger Next are also available for customers who do not use OpenType-savvy applications like the Adobe Creative Suite.
