Frutiger (pronounced [ˈfruːtɪɡər]) is a series of typefaces named after its Swiss designer, Adrian Frutiger.[3] Frutiger is a humanist sans-serif typeface, intended to be clear and highly legible at a distance or at small text sizes. A 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".[4][5]
