字体介绍
上世纪70年代初，巴黎戴高乐机场在规划新建机场时曾决定，机场的导视系统必须尽可能使用最清晰、最易读的字体。所有标识的开发都交给了Adrian Frutiger和他的工作室。该团队非常有效地完成了他们的任务，很快，一些客户对他们的字体产生了巨大的需求，他们希望将其应用于其他导视系统，以及印刷材料。Frutiger®字体不仅为导视系统建立了新的标准，而且还为一家族需要清晰易读设计的其他领域建立了新标准，特别是对于小尺寸字体和基础性字体。1977年，由于这一需求而出现的字体家族以“Frutiger”的名字被添加到Linotype字体库中。

Frutiger Next，创作于1999年，它是对Frutiger更进一步的开发。它是基于一个新的想法，其最明显的视觉特征是较大的x字高，小写字母相对于大写字母有更明显的升部和降部。这个新设计创造了一种平衡，且字间距非常窄。Frutiger Next满足了对节省空间的现代人文主义无衬线字体的需求。

2009年的Neue Frutiger是对1977年Frutiger家族的重新思考，由小林章（Akira Kobayashi）与Adrian Frutiger密切合作对其进行了修订和改进。尽管做出了种种修改，但这个“New Frutiger”仍然可以与原来的Frutiger家族完美契合，而且有利于对已有字重和风格进行和谐改进。这种完美的混合保证了Neue Frutiger拥有与Frutiger相同的字符高度。因此，已经存在的Frutiger样式可以在必要时与Neue Frutiger混合使用。同样，Neue Frutiger也可以与Frutiger Serif一起使用。<br>
“Neue Frutiger 1450” 是新增加的字重。尤其是为了满足新发布的德国DIN 1450标准的要求，我们与Adrian Frutiger共同为Neue Frutiger构建了几个特殊的字重。为了更好地与大写字母“I”区分，小写字母 “l”的基线处是弯曲的，此外，数字“0”的内部有一个点，这样能更好地与大写“O”区分开来，而数字“1”的底部有衬线。该字体还包含了常规Neue Frutiger字体的原始字型，可以通过Opentype功能访问到。”

During planning for the new Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris at the beginning of the 1970s, it was determined that the airport’s signage system had to include the clearest and most legible lettering possible. The development of all signage was put into the hands of Adrian Frutiger and his studio. The team carried out their task so effectively that a huge demand for their typeface soon arose from customers who wanted to employ it in other signage systems, and in printed materials as well. The Frutiger® typeface not only established new standards for signage, but also for a range of other areas in which a clear and legible design would be required, especially for small point sizes and bread-and-butter type. The typeface family that which emerged as a result of this demand was added into the Linotype library as "Frutiger" in 1977.

Frutiger Next, created in 1999, is a further development of Frutiger, not necessarily a rethinking of the design itself. It was based on a new concept, the most obvious visual characteristics of which is the larger x-height, as well as a more pronounced ascender height and descender depth for lower case letters in relation to capitals. This new design created a balanced image and included considerably narrower letterspacing. Frutiger Next meets the demand for a space-saving, modern humanist sans.

2009’s Neue Frutiger is a rethink of the 1977 Frutiger family, now revised and improved by Akira Kobayashi in close collaboration with Adrian Frutiger. Despite the various changes, this "New Frutiger" still fits perfectly with the original Frutiger family, and serves to harmoniously enhance the weights and styles already in existence. The perfect mix, guaranteed Neue Frutiger has the same character height as Frutiger. As a result of this, already existing Frutiger styles can be mixed with Neue Frutiger where necessary. Likewise, Neue Frutiger is perfect for use alongside Frutiger Serif.

Newly added are the "Neue Frutiger 1450" weights. Especially for the requirements of the newly released German DIN 1450 norm we have built together with Adrian Frutiger specific weights of the Neue Frutiger. The lowercase l" is curved at the baseline to better differentiate between the cap "I", additionally the number "0" has a dot inside to better differentiate between the cap "O", and the number "1" is now a serifed 1. The font contains additionally the origin letterforms from the regular Neue Frutiger font which can be accessed through an Opentype feature."
