Likewise, Neue Frutiger is perfect for use alongside Frutiger Serif.Newly added are the "Neue Frutiger 1450" weights. As a result of this, already existing Frutiger styles can be mixed with Neue Frutiger where necessary. The perfect mix, guaranteed Neue Frutiger has the same character height as Frutiger. Despite the various changes, this "New Frutiger" still fits perfectly with the original Frutiger family, and serves to harmoniously enhance the weights and styles already in existence. Frutiger Next meets the demand for a space-saving, modern humanist sans.2009's Neue Frutiger is a rethink of the 1977 Frutiger family, now revised and improved by Akira Kobayashi in close collaboration with Adrian Frutiger. This new design created a balanced image and included considerably narrower letterspacing. It was based on a new concept, the most obvious visual characteristics of which is the larger x-height, as well as a more pronounced ascender height and descender depth for lower case letters in relation to capitals.
The typeface family that which emerged as a result of this demand was added into the Linotype library as "Frutiger" in 1977.Frutiger Next, created in 1999, is a further development of Frutiger, not necessarily a rethinking of the design itself. The Frutiger® typeface not only established new standards for signage, but also for a range of other areas in which a clear and legible design would be required, especially for small point sizes and bread-and-butter type. The team carried out their task so effectively that a huge demand for their typeface soon arose from customers who wanted to employ it in other signage systems, and in printed materials as well. The development of all signage was put into the hands of Adrian Frutiger and his studio.
During planning for the new Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris at the beginning of the 1970s, it was determined that the airport's signage system had to include the clearest and most legible lettering possible.
