Adrian Frutigers 80th birthday

Dear Mr. Frutiger, Happy 80th Birthday and many many more. I have 4 woodcuts of of yours that I treasure dearly. They were restored and reprinted by by Linotype in 2002 in celebration of your 75th birthday. They are of the smallest things... twigs of a trees, pine needles, a piece of bamboo, and a bit of papyrus. They are so delicately beautiful - a joy to behold. I will treasure them always, as I know my heirs will also. With fond best wishes, Michael Carbone — Michael Carbone

Zum ersten mal wurde ich Mitte/Ende der 90er auf die "Frutiger" Schrift von unserem Professor an der Fachhochschule für Design in Hannover aufmerksam gemacht. Ich habe die Schrift gleich bei Linotype gekauft (2 Schriftschnitte) und für meine Diplomarbeit verwendet. nach wie vor setzten wir diese Schrift für ähnliche Projekte ein. Also herzlichen Dank für diese erstklassige Schrift und alles Gute für die Zukunft. Ihr Roger Hassler - www.airbrush-magazin.de — Roger Hassler, Germany - Hamburg
