After creating 15 spreads with paper and scissors, we then moved onto 15 new spreads on the computer. The rules still restricted us to two strokes, one font, and all four lines of text, except this time we got to use color.
Since we are using the font Univers, it made sense to learn about the designer of this typeface. Adrian Frutiger was born in Switzerland in 1928 and received training in type at the Zurich School of Art and Crafts. He worked for Deberny & Peignot where he created the typefaces Ondine and Meridien.
He produced the font Univers for metal and film in 1957, which led to his recognition as an international typeface designer. He eventually opened his own studio and was a professor for 18 years.
He received several awards and honors such as the Gutenberg Prize of the City of Mainz (Germany), Medal of the Type Directors Club of New York, Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Paris), and Grand Prix National des Arts Graphiques (France). Frutiger also worked as a consultant for IBM and the Stempel typefoundry.
