Tribute to Adrian Frutiger

On 10 September 2015, Adrian Frutiger passed away. This man created three of our favorite and often used fonts: Avenir, Frutiger, Univers. Because his work has enriched ours, we wanted to make a tribute to him with this series of six posters.

1. “AF”

“A” is set in Avenir, “F” in Frutiger, “Tribute to Adrian Frutiger” in Univers, 3 fonts by Adrian Frutiger.

2. “The Dinner Jacket”

A quote from Adrian Frutiger illustrated.

3. “Black Universe” or “White Univers”

God creator of the Universe or Adrian Frutiger creator of the Univers.

4. “Black Univers” or “White Universe”

God creator of the Universe or Adrian Frutiger creator of the Univers.

5. “Four Lines in Frutiger”

“I am sure in some years from now you will see new posters with just white space and four lines in Garamond.” is a quote of Adrian Frutiger. We put a line through “Garamond” and replace it by “Frutiger”. The four lines are in Frutiger.

6. “Four Lines in Univers”

“From all these experiences the most important thing I have learned is that legibility and beauty stand close together and that type design, in its restraint, should be only felt but not perceived by the reader.”
