1 presented in: Eurostile Roman Find further Font Features in our Font Feature Archive. The Univers family of fonts designed by Adrian Frutiger more than forty years ago is one of the most innovative type creations of the modern age. Its introduction prompted a reappraisal of the sans serif. While the forms of the Univers have their roots in the old grotesque types, they also combine features which rebel against the past. They carry in them the knowledge that type is part of the cultural heritage handed down from our forefathers, a heritage which we should neither ignore or alter and which we should pass on to future generations. Linotype Univers, along with Linotype Frutiger Next and Linotype Syntax, belongs to the fonts of the Linotype Platinum Collection. These fonts were carefully digizalized and have the high quality demanded by professional typography. All fonts of the Platinum Collection were produced according to the Linotype tradition of quality. Linotype and its exclusive partners offer these fonts only as complete typeface families on Platinum Collections CDs.

Many of the weights have been drawn individually without following a mathematical rate of increase. The styles show their affiliation to the family and yet maintain a strong individual character.

3 presented in: Stempel Schneidler Medium Each weight is assigned its own three-digit number. The first digit A defines the weight, the second B defines the width and the last C the position. The perfectly coordinated makeup of the typeface family and the three-digit numeration system of the weight designations distinguishes the new Linotype Univers from the old Univers. Clear distinguishing features also give the typeface greater transparency in type applications.
