The creation of type in the latter half of the 20th century was considerably influenced by the Swiss type designer Adrian Frutiger. His typefaces are amongst the most successful of contemporary classics.
Adrian Frutiger - Typefaces. The Complete Works is based on interviews and conversations with the designer and on comprehensive research by the editors. Its depth and range make it an indispensable reference work. Completed in the year of Adrian Frutiger's 80th birthday, it represents, as is his wish, his legacy to further generations of type designers and typographers.
