Univers type specimen book
The Univers font is a classic of Swiss typography. This sans-serif font came onto the market in 1957; it was designed by Adrian Frutiger for Deberny et Peignot, the French type foundry. It was the first deliberately planned family of fonts for lead typesetting and photocomposition; it stands out from its competitors because it is so easily read, even from a distance.
