| Description: |
Neue Frutiger is an extension and rethinking of Adrian Frutiger's eponymous typeface. In 1968, he was commissioned to develop a navigation system for the new Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. Instead of using an existing type, he created a new sans serif suitable for the legibility requirements of signage: easy recognition from the distances and angles of driving and walking. This result was in accord with the modern architecture of the airport. In 1976, Frutiger expanded and completed the design for the D. Stempel AG foundry, in conjunction with Linotype. By 2009, the Frutiger family had five weights, obliques, and condensed variants. Akira Kobayashi, Linotype's type director and long-time collaborator on Frutiger type families such as Avenir Next, began to work on a Neue Frutiger. Now with twice as many weights, this new contribution has been redrawn from the ground up. The curves of the letterforms are more thought through. Instead of straight vectors, many letter contours exhibit a light inward swelling. Minimal ink traps have been added into tight connections. The sides of certain strokes are no longer parallel but slightly angled, to remove unnecessary optical illusions. In other words, Neue Frutiger looks more like a digital "Frutiger" should. Neue Frutiger is a more humanistic interpretation. Its five new weights can be mixed with the existing five weights of the old Frutiger family; the vertical metrics of both family versions are the same. The new "Book" weight is the optimal Frutiger cut for setting long passages of text. The original Frutiger 55 Roman is a bit too dark for this, and Frutiger Next Regular a bit too light and tightly-spaced. Neue Frutiger's fonts include proportionally-spaced and tabular figures, superior and inferior numbers, as well as alternate forms of the & and ß. Neue Frutiger has a perfect, existing serif typeface companion: Frutiger Serif. |
