Who is Frutiger? Why is Univers Unique? Grid?

Adrian Frutiger is a very famous typeface designer who created the Univers font, as well as many others. You can find many of his typefaces in his home country of Switzerland located on roadsigns. He has also won many awards in the graphic arts departments.

His Univers grid is a chart that visually shows the ways in which the font can be manipulated according to stroke, weight, and kerning. This typeface is unique in that it shows a special sans serif with a nice height and an even weight. All together it, it a wonderful easy to read font.
