Re: [OT] This year's obsession with Frutiger

["A. Tubbs" <atubbs@bigpond.net.au>]

Just in case you're interested :

In 1968, Adrian Frutiger was commissioned to develop a signage system suited
to the architecture of the new Charles de Gaulle Airport outside Paris; he
designed a simple, clean, robust sans serif type that is highly legible. In
1976, Frutiger completed the family for the Stempel foundry. Despite its
original intention as airport signage, Frutiger has a universal quality that
makes it appropriate for many applications; a favorite typeface among
advertising agencies, it is a equally successful in text and display work.
