Linotype GmbH, a typeface foundry and subsidiary of Monotype Imaging Holdings has introduced the Frutiger Serif typeface family. The new 20-font offering was designed by Akira Kobayashi, type director at Linotype, and Adrian Frutiger, whose original Frutiger sans serif design ranks among the best selling fonts of all time from the Linotype Library.
The Frutiger Serif design is based on the Meridien typeface, one of Frutiger’s first, released in 1957. The Frutiger Serif typeface family is available in five weights ranging from light to heavy, and all weights are available in both regular and condensed versions. Each has a corresponding italic, in addition to a condensed italic.
The Frutiger Serif fonts support 48 western, central and eastern European languages, including Baltic and Turkish. The fonts are available in the OpenType cross-platform format and include OpenType features such as ligatures, small caps and several numerical figures.
