Adrian Frutiger brought us many beautiful fonts, including one of the most useful and versatile geometric san serifs. He also reorganized the way that fonts were named for there size, used in many of the Swiss Style font systems. This numbering system is great, or would have been had everyone followed it. It’s easy enough without it, but the clarity it provides for Univers is simply amazing.
I had been hoping that Google would have a cool doodle for his birthday…but I guess he’s a little more obscure outside the design community.
