ABOUT
I was very sad to hear of the passing of Adrian Frutiger last year. I'm not alone in loving the iconic type specimens for his Univers typeface – a perfect way of showcasing Frutiger’s masterpiece – an almost scientific system of 21 weights and widths that could be combined perfectly (and a sublime solution to the many different sans serif faces at the time that very rarely complemented each other). They were created by Rémy Peignot for the Parisian type foundry Deberny et Peignot and released in the early 1960s (Univers was designed by Adrian Frutiger between 1954 and 1957).
So referencing these type specimens, I found out that Univers also has a nice range of snowy asterisks. I used them to create a poster this past Christmas, as a festive tribute to Mr Frutiger and his prettiest star.
