Adrian Frutiger創建瞭整個字體世界。他尤以其適用於較長文本的高度可讀性字體(Meridien、Univers、Glypha,Linotype Centennial等)而聞名,而且他還創作瞭許多流行的裝飾性字母,如Ondine、Phoebus以及President,這些都是他於1953年在巴黎創作的。

最近,他將自己的技能運用到瞭Linotype 的項目Type Before Gutenberg中。這其中包括輕盈且精美的Herculanum,帶有菱形襯線的窄體Pompeijana,以及粗壯的Rusticana,它們均起源於Roman字重。

Frutiger Capitalis Regular和Outline也屬於這一組;然而它們並沒有直接的歷史淵源。乍一看,它們似乎與羅馬體Capitalis Monumentalis有關,但仔細一看發現該字體展現出瞭一種羅馬人銘刻在磐石之上的字符所沒有的活力。Frutiger承認,創建Capitalis是“一種解放”。在處理瞭許多復雜且精心設計的字體之後,Capitalis就像一縷新鮮的空氣。

從風格上講,Frutiger Capitalis Outline形成瞭一座通往Frutiger Capitalis Signs的橋梁——它本身就是完整的。Frutiger Capitalis Signs是一種個性的象征符號,許多符號是立即“可讀的”,其他符號則留有一定可解釋的空間。其中一些符號是Frutiger想象力的產物,如Frutiger的"Life Signs" ——柔和的手繪圖形的線條沒有明顯的開始或結束,從而創造瞭內部和外部空間,每一眼都能看到新的形式。

這些輪廓圖伴隨著Frutiger的整個職業生涯——一個夢幻的花園,為他多年來嚴謹的字體設計提供瞭重要的平衡。

但他不認為自己是藝術傢。Frutiger說他隻是“想講故事,畫細並線,創做標志輪廓:這就是我的風格。”

Adrian Frutiger has created an entire typeface universe. He is especially well-known for his highly readable faces for longer texts (Meridien, Univers, Glypha, Linotype Centennial, etc.), but has also produced many popular decorative alphabets, such as Ondine, Phoebus, and President, which he created in Paris in 1953.

More recently, he has applied his skills to the typefaces of the Linotype Project Type before Gutenberg. These include the light-footed and extravagant Herculanum, the narrow Pompeijana with its diamond-shaped serifs and the robust Rusticana, all derived from Roman origins.


Frutiger Capitalis Regular and Outline belong in this group as well; however, they are not based on direct historical sources. At first glance, they may seem related to the roman type Capitalis Monumentalis, but opon closer examination, the fonts reveal a vitality unknown to the characters the Romans etched in stone. Frutiger confesses that creating Capitalis was "a liberation." After working on so many sophisticated and meticulously designed typefaces, Capitalis was a breath of fresh air.


Stylistically, Frutiger Capitalis Outline forms a bridge to Frutiger Capitalis Signs — a whole universe of its own. Frutiger Capitalis Signs is a personal cosmos of symbols, many are immediately "legible", others leave room for interpretation. Some of the symbols are the product of Frutiger"s imagination, such as his "Life Signs" — soft, hand drawn figures whose lines have no apparent beginning or end, creating both interior and exterior spaces, new forms emerging at each glance. These contoured drawings have accompanied Frutiger throughout his professional life — a fantasy garden which has provided an important balance to his many years of disciplined typeface design. Yet he does not consider himself an artist. Frutiger says he simply "wants to tell stories, to draw thin lines, create contours of signs: that is my style.""
