Frutiger (pronounced with a hard g) is a series of typefaces named after its Swiss designer, Adrian Frutiger. Frutiger is a humanist sans-serif typeface, intended to be clear and highly legible at a distance or at small text sizes. A very popular design worldwide, type designer Steve Matteson described its structure as "the best choice for legibility in pretty much any situation" at small text sizes, while Erik Spiekermann named it as "the best general typeface ever". ==Distinctive characteristics== Characteristics of this typeface are: Lowercase: square dot over the letter ''i''; double-storey ''a'', single-storey ''g''. Wide, open apertures on letters such as ''a'', ''e'' and ''s''. Very high x-height, (perhaps too high for body text) but increasing its clarity for headings. Uppercase: Wide ''A'' with a very low centre bar, though less obvious in bold weight. ''Q'' with a stroke below the circle only. Univers-like ''M'', square and with centre strokes descending to the base of the letter. Figures: monospaced numbers; diagonal serif on the ''1''; closed ''4''. Oblique: The slanted version is an oblique in which the letterforms are slanted, rather than a true italic. Some versions not drawn by Frutiger do add a true italic (see Frutiger Next below). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frutiger (typeface)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
