The result of that effort was the addition of over a hundred new fonts, including classics like Avenir Next LT Pro and Walbaum along with contemporary designs like The Hand, Sagona and Modern Love. In 2019 we reviewed the set of fonts provided with Office identifying stylistic gaps. The font was instantly successful in print and with its expanded range of characters and specific optimization, equally successful as an on-screen font.
Since its release, the Avenir Next design has been immensely popular for an extensive range of different applications. Legible and eminently flexible, designers the world over have embraced the Avenir Next face for a wide variety of different projects. The Avenir Next design was subsequently released in twenty-four different styles including Regular, Italic, Condensed and Condensed Italic variants and published by Linotype in 2004. This limited variety led to the reworking of the type in the early twenty-first century by Frutiger and Kobayashi. The Avenir (French for “future”) font was produced as another real alternative to the Futura design and the original face was available in three weights with accompanying italic variants. Various other fonts followed after the Univers creation including Serifa®, Glypha® and the self titled Frutiger®. Preferring a more humanist approach to typeface creation, he persuaded his then-employer Charles Peignot to allow him to create a new face based on different criteria. Frutiger did not feel comfortable with the manner in which Futura sat upon the page, feeling it was too disciplined.
Very creative from an early age, Frutiger dabbled in sculpture and type design, in particular, alternatives to the stiff, formal cursive taught at his native Swiss schools.Īrguably, Frutiger’s most famous font, the Univers® family, was produced as a reaction to Paul Renner’s 1927 Futura® typeface. It was an expanded reworking of the original font family (released as an OpenType font with both oldstyle and lining figures) and received considerable acclaim upon its publication by Linotype in 2004.Īdrian Frutiger was destined for typographical greatness well before his entrance into the world of commercial typeface production. The Avenir® Next font family was designed by Adrian Frutiger in collaboration with Monotype Type Director Akira Kobayashi.
