A seriously enormous undertaking, "Adrian Frutiger Typefaces" is the definitive book on the type design work of Adrian Frutiger. From his beginnings to his latest designs, each face ever designed is displayed, compared, commented upon, and put into context.

Along with massive amounts of detail on each typeface Frutiger designed, there is a great deal of information explaining the technologies that were used and the advancements in type design over the past century. This is not only a book just on Frutiger's designs, but a book about the process of designing a typeface down to the smallest detail.

Recommended for anyone that has even the smallest appreciation of type and type design!

Great book for advanced students, teachers and designers involved it typography. Well done documentation of the life and work Adrian Frutiger, full of sketches, notices and designer`s comments which help you understand his way of thinking and work. Necessary in each library for serious thinking about typography. Deeply helpful for teachers.
