Adrian Frutiger Typefaces: The Complete Works

December 28, 2013

A comprehensive documentation of Frutiger’s typographical work based on his own words, complete with history and detailed analysis from the editors, Heidrun Osterer and Philipp Stamm, and extraordinary visual comparisons of the typefaces.
