Frutiger Linotype
Designer: Adrian Frutiger
In 1968, Adrian Frutiger was commissioned to develop a lettering system for the new Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. He created Frutiger, a font whose character fit in with the modern architecture of the airport. Frutiger is neither purely constructed nor ornamental, its forms designed so that each individual character is quickly and easily recognized, even from a distance. Such clarity and legibility makes Frutiger the perfect font for signage and other applications, where the distinctness of characters is of high importance.
