2008ref. 94189Birkhäuser Architecture. New. 2008. Hardcover. 3764385812 . FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- Text in English. 460 pages; 430 color 620 b/w illustrations. Description: "Adrian Frutiger first came to the design world's attention in the late 1950s with his design of Univers and the numbering concept behind it. A considerable proportion of his output has also been informed by developments in typesetting technology. In the 1970s he set a standard for signage typefaces with his Alphabet Roissy for the Paris-Roissy airport. Slightly reworked this went on to enjoy great success as a body typeface under the name Frutiger. His machine-readable OCR-B which is used on paying-in slips passports credit cards and as ISBN numbers on books has become an official ISO standard. His sans serif typefaces Avenir and Vectora which appeared at the end of the 1980s stand out because of their exceptional readability and have cemented Frutigers reputation as 'Mr Sans Serif'. The Complete Works is based on interviews and conversations with the designer and on comprehensive research by the editors. Its depth and range make it an indispensable reference work. Completed in the year of Adrian Frutiger's 80th birthday it represents as is his wish his legacy to further generations of type designers and typographers." Birkhäuser Architecture hardcover
