Univers

the began, not in a flash but with the stroke of a pencil *

Ë™

Some believe that the Universe was born thousands of millennia ago from a single spark. But it all began on the sketch pad of a student in Zurich.

“

Much like the Universe Adrian Fruitiger imagined an ordered, scientificly governed and timeless creation: Univers.

Faced with the need for a linear sans serif, Adrian Fruitiger turned to old sketches from his time at the School for the Applied Arts. From those original sketeches he labored for three years creating Univers. Released in 1957 by Deberny & Peignot foundry in Paris, the Univers has become a Universal standard in typesetting excelling at everything from display to body text.

Going boldly where no font has gone before

•

Univers is the first family of typefaces to be designed with s system of widths an weights coordinated by a numerical system. Originally released as a family of twenty-one san serif fonts these varying weights and thiscknesses have a unified x-height as well as acenders and descenders which allows them to work in harmony with eachother. With well ordered weight system enables the user to find the thickness and slant that best fits the application.

Redesigned in conjuction with Linotype Adrian Fruitiger created a baffling 59 weights of this

timeless face.
