Frutiger® SerifType Specimen

It’s not everyday that one of the world’s most renowned sans serif type families welcomes into its fold new members – with serifs. Linotype is proud to present Frutiger® Serif, the new font family by Adrian Frutiger and Akira Kobayashi. Frutiger Serif evolved from Frutiger’s classic design Meridien®; redrawn and expanded, it now harmonizes with several of Adrian Frutiger’s sans serif designs.

With Frutiger’s support, Linotype’s Type Director Akira Kobayashi took up the challenge to adapt and expand Meridien. Created for the French typefoundry Deberny & Peignot in 1957, Meridien was one of Frutiger’s earliest designs. It is characterized by sharp, but elegant, serifs and no straight lines. Where most fonts have completely straight strokes, Meridien features gentle curves and soft arcs.

The existing digital version of Meridien is offered by Linotype, although this interpretation is quite different from the original metal type. Akira Kobayashi had an appreciation for the metal version, so he began Frutiger Serif from some of the earliest, letter-pressed specimens. The spirit of Meridien is still present in Frutiger Serif, although there have been many significant changes. New weights, widths, and styles not only come closer to Frutiger’s original design, but they now correspond better with several of Frutiger’s sans serifs.

The Frutiger Serif font family comes in 5 weights ranging from light to heavy and each weight is available in both regular and condensed. This increases the number of fonts in the family to 10; but since each of these also has an italic version, the family actually has a total of 20 fonts. Needless to say, Frutiger Serif also has all weights of italics in condensed as well – an addition that neither the original Frutiger nor Frutiger Next even have yet.

With the many weights and styles, the Frutiger Serif family is divers and strong enough to be used on its own. However, its added versatility is revealed when used in combination with other fonts. Frutiger Serif works well with the original Frutiger, Frutiger Next, and Univers – just to name a few. Paring the serif and sans serif families together is perfect for creating complex hierarchies and clear information design. Working with complicated typographic systems – involving elements such as headlines, captions, pull quotes, multilingual text, etc,– is made easy byselecting Frutiger Serif and another of Frutiger’s sans serif families. The designer needs simply to mix and match different weights and styles for the various textual elements to create smart and innovative layouts.

All fonts in the Frutiger Serif family support 48 Western, Central and Eastern European languages, including the Baltic languages and Turkish. The OpenType features include ligatures, small caps, as well as a wealth of figures for most numerical needs.

Typography must be as beautiful as a forest –not like the

CONCRETE JUNGLES of suburbia. A forest is not a single

complex there are distances between the trees that provide space to breathe and live.

The same holds true for type. If it is set too narrowly, it can no longer be

recognized as type. You need to leave space for the reader to

breathe

It isn’t every day that one of the world’s most popular sans serif typeface families receives a new serif companion. When this happens, it is certainly reason to celebrate. Linotype is proud to release Frutiger® Serif, a new typeface family from Adrian Frutiger and Akira Kobayashi.

Frutiger Serif Regular, Italic, and Heavy

The idea for Frutiger Serif began as an updated and expanded version of Frutiger’s classic serif typeface Meridien®. Originally released in 1957 for the French foundry Deberny & Peignot, Frutiger always regarded Meridien as the best typeface he ever designed.

Frutiger Serif works matches well with Frutiger Next in scale and color. This is ideal for setting bi-lingual texts side by side or when you need to slightly differ-entiate text, while still having it coordinate.

Probably the most typical use of a serif & sans serif combo is simply having them mixed on the same page. Frutiger Serif is beautiful at large sizes, but it is also highly legible and comfortable to read in small text sizes. When using the full Frutiger and Frutiger Serif families try playing with different styles and weights for different text elements, such as headlines, subheads, body text, pull quotes, or captions. The combinations are limitless!

Serving a purpose“Typography must be as beautiful as a forest – not like the concrete deserts of suburbia. A forest is not a single complex – there are distances between the trees which provide space to breathe & live.” The same holds true for type. If it is set too narrowly, it can no longer be recog-nized as type. “You need to leave space

for the reader to breathe,” Fruti-ger says. That is why he always places utmost importance on making sure the type forms a symbiosis with

its surroundings: “Type must be recog-nizable within fractions of a second.” And he means in all areas of life. For unlike any other, he has created typefaces for

printing everything from books to depar-ture schedules as well as for design pur-poses – or even for signs in public spaces.

“The grey lines on a book page are read dif-ferently than letters on a sign. There is a huge difference to be made between curling up with a good book in your favorite arm-chair or when you are rushing to catch your flight at the airport.” Yet one thing is always true: “The reader has to feel comfortable,” Frutiger concludes. Type should never scare people away or stress them out.

Forms and counterforms Anyone who is familiar with Frutiger’s typefaces is not surprised when they see the works of art he has created. Many drawings, wood carvings and objects testify to the work of Adrian Frutiger beyond the world of type. His style is defined by extreme min-imalism in form and color, speaking a lan-

“The most important thing I have learned is that legibility &

beauty stand close together and that type design, in its restraint, should be only felt but not per-

ceived by the reader.”

The weights in the original Frutiger do not coordinate with Frutiger Serif in the same way as Frutiger Next. However, the proportions and style are still harmo-nious. This means that Frutiger is still a perfect choice to match with Frutiger Serif, only with some additional color contrast.

Frutiger Serif was not specifically intended to coordinate with the weights and forms of Univers. However, the proportions and style are still remarkably har-monious. This means that Univers also a great choice to match with Frutiger Serif. They work particularly well together when they are contrasting, rather than being forced to match.
