Congratulations mr Frutiger! Though I used your Frutiger for the first book a designed ± 35 years ago, I only reccently 'discovered' Egyptienne F. I did two books last year with this font. To my opinion it is superb, no other egyptian can compete with its fine and robust 'archetypic' forms. I hope it will be made more complete one day. — Johannes Niemeijer, Netherlands

Sir, Your timeless classic typefaces are some of my favorite faces. Even though I no l onger have my type house, as an "old" Typographer, I still use Univers, Apollo, and Frutiger for my children's school flyers and small requests from friends and neighbors. Congratulations on your birthday! — Phil Imperato, United States

The best books I read as a child were composed in Univers, and now Univers is remembering my childhood. Your birthday is a nice occasion to tell you how I feel and how much I thank you. — Matias Peruyera, Brazil

You, sir, have designed the best lowercase a's in the history of type. happy birthday. — brendan, united states

Mr. Frutiger, best wishes on your birthday. It was my ability to distinguish between Univers and other sans faces that landed me a job at Autologic many moons ago. I thank you for helping me land that "dream job". Today I teach, design, design history and typography. Look at what you have accomplished, how many you have inspired. Two of your books, well worn, and well read, sit on my book shelf. As they say may you live beyond 120. --Paul — Paul, Canada

Only few people in the world of design can add such details that will effect so many. Well done. — Yogi Naraine, United States of America

Happy Birthday Adrian! When I heard that your birthday was coming up I was reminded of my first year at University, studying Graphic Design, when I studied you and your typography in my very first type lesson. It filled me with excitement! And this is something I haven't lost, as I am finishing my degree this year - this week in fact! - and my display at my degree show is all typography and print. Thank you for being such an inspiration. I hope you have a wonderful day xx — Laura Mingozzi, England
