Univers

History

Univers is a neo-grotesque, unserifed typeface designed by Adrian Frutiger in 1951 and released by Deberny & Piegnot in 1957. It is similar to Helvetica which was designed by Max Miedinger around the same time. These typefaces figure prominently in the Swiss International Style of graphic design.

Usage

It is used by Swiss Air Lines, Deutsche Bank and for signage. It is favoured for its clear lines and legibility at even a great distance.
