Rejane Dal Bello april greiman Designers on Design: Andy Stevens | Graphic Design | Agenda | Phaidon We've waxed lyrical about London's Graphic Thought Facility on Phaidon.com before, and rightly so.

Adrian Frutiger Information about the typeface designer Adrian Frutiger and his fonts. Adrian Frutiger was born in 1928 at Unterseen near Interlaken, Switzerland. After an apprenticeship as a compositor, he continued his training in type and graphics at the Zurich School of Arts and Crafts (Kunstgewerbeschule) from 1949 to 1951, being taught by two renowned professors, Alfred Willimann and Walter Käch. Frutiger went to Paris in 1952 and worked as typeface designer and artistic manager at Deberny & Peignot. He established his international position as a typeface designer with his Univers sans-serif font, produced for metal and film in 1957. In addition to his typeface design, Frutiger has been a consultant to IBM and the Stempel typefoundry. In 2008 Frutiger collaborated on a reworked version of Meridien, which was released by Linotype as Frutiger Serif in honour of his 80th birthday. (Photograph reproduced courtesy of fontblog.de.)
