	Frutiger At 70 - ITCFonts.com
		Frutiger is very sparing in his use of forms, and the abstract depiction of animals and plants shown in the exhibition are the fruits of his musings about the cosmos and the ways of man.
		One of Frutiger’s key strengths is that he is able to take contemporary trends and combine them with traditional forms to produce something fresh, timeless, and appealing to a very large audience: consider the typeface Univers.
		Another of Adrian Frutiger’s strengths is that he is well suited to the task of producing historically important type designs: he is unassuming, not at all self important, and capable of the kind of introspection, concentration, and focus that provide the conditions for really great work.

	Adrian Frutiger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adrian Frutiger (born March 24, 1928) is the designer of some of the best known typefaces of the 20th century.
		Frutiger was born in the town of Interlaken, located in the Alps of Switzerland in a sheltered valley that fills with fog in the mornings.
		However, Frutiger considered the forms of Univers to be too round for legibility and instead used a typeface he designed for Orly Airport across town as the basis for Frutiger, released in 1976.
