Univers Date released 1957 Variations Univers ( French pronunciation: ​ ) is the name of a large family designed by and released by his employer in 1957. Classified as a sans-serif, one based on the model of nineteenth-century German typefaces such as, it was notable for its availability from the moment of its launch in a comprehensive range of weights and widths. The original marketing for Univers deliberately referenced the to emphasise its scope. Univers was one of the first typeface families to fulfil the idea that a typeface should form a family of consistent, related designs. Past sans-serif designs such as had much greater differences between weights, while loose families such as American Type Founders' family often were advertised under different names for each style, to emphasise that they were not completely matching. By creating a matched range of styles and weights, Univers allowed documents to be created in one consistent typeface for all text, making it easier to artistically set documents in sans-serif type. This matched the desire among practitioners of the ' for neutral sans-serif typefaces avoiding artistic excesses.

The design concept of Univers was intended to take advantage of the new technology of, in which fonts were stored as glass discs rather than as solid metal type and matrices for every size to be used. Deberny & Peignot had established itself as a leader in this technology, although as by the time of its launch metal type was still very popular the design was also released in this form. Univers was rapidly licensed and re-released by, Linotype, and others for phototypesetting, for metal type and reproduction by typewriter. Historian has described it as 'probably the last major' release of a large family as.

Univers' is a distinctive 'et' ligature of a style popular in French-speaking countries. Frutiger's original ampersand was a true 'et' ligature, similar to that in among others. Frutiger later provided an alternative for non French-speaking countries in which the form might be less familiar. The Deberny & Peignot library was acquired in 1972. It was transferred into the D. Stempel AG and Linotype collection in 1985 and 1989 respectively upon the Haas'sche Schriftgiesserei's acquisition and closure; it is now owned by following its purchase of in 2007. An independent version of Univers was licensed by the for its phototypesetting system with adaptations by; Frutiger wrote in his autobiography that he had some affection for it.

Comparison with Akzidenz-Grotesk, Folio, and Helvetica. Comparison of distinguishing characters in, and Univers 55 Univers is similar in design to other European grotesque fonts, of which Akzidenz-Grotesk, Folio, and Helvetica are among the most common. Differences include:.

The tail of 'a' and the top of '1' are much less rounded. Upper-case 'G' is formed without an arrow head (called a spur). Both arms of 'K' join at the stem. The tail of 'Q' runs along the baseline. The tail of 'R' is curved (compared with Akzidenz-Grotesk). The top of 't' is angled.

The dot of the 'i' is not square but a rectangle. Lower-case 'y' has a straight descender. Many of the numerals in Univers have straight vs. Curved ascenders. Helvetica tends to have a slightly greater than Univers.

Univers generally has quite a wide spacing between letters, and its low x-height gives it a more low-slung, splayed appearance than Helvetica, especially in bold. Dutch font designer, while praising Univers for its 'almost scientific' range of weights, criticised it for its lack of originality: 'basing a sans serif on another is rather cheap.'

Frutiger's later landmark sans-serif designs, and, would take very different, more and approaches. Frutiger himself has commented: 'Helvetica is the jeans, and Univers the dinner jacket.' Described it as better proportioned for text than Helvetica: 'more original and subtle in its modelling than Helvetica and, because its character spacing was properly done, a better performer in text composition.' Mosley has described its even design as 'rather bland' and noted that Monotype's eccentric, chaotically organised remained popular with more 'iconoclastic' printers in the 1960s. Audi Sans, a variation of Univers used in the dashboard graphics of an instrument panel Univers enjoyed great popularity in the 1960s and 1970s because many corporations adopted it for usage.

It is used in a modified version by the new (previously, used the typeface ), and for signage all over the world. Also was adopted by the organizers for its image and emblem also in. Used the font from 1986 to 2004 before switching to. Previously used this typeface as well as its condensed oblique variant for the keycaps on many of its keyboards, before completely switching to in August 2007 with the introduction of new keyboards and the new iMac (their notebook computers already featured that typeface since 1999). Used a custom version of Univers until 2009.

Univers is known for its clear lines and at great distances. The, various stations, and the road system also make extensive use of this typeface (though Disney is in the process of replacing it with ). Some but not all use Univers Bold Condensed for street signs. The adopted the font for all merchandising material in 2006 to complement its new corporate logo.

Also adapted Univers for use on their maps (added tails on the lowercase l and t, and other small changes to help distinguish the type from the map details) of which they own all rights to. In 2006, the adopted Univers as its corporate typographic voice in size 12-point so that visually impaired people can more easily read its publications. Univers was used for 's campaign logos in both 2000 and 2004. Bush's 2000 campaign logo was set in Univers 85 Extra Black, while the 2004 campaign logo used Univers 85 Extra Black Oblique (slanted). Audi Sans is a variant based on Univers, designed. It became Audi's corporate identity font in the 1990s. When Audi contracted MetaDesign to support Audi's brand management strategy.

The font was used extensively by Audi, appearing in sales literature, corporate communications, owners' documentation and even on the vehicles themselves in the instrument panel graphics and their dashboard displays. Both former & current logo is set in Univers. The logo of line of toys on television shows is set in Univers. The Frutiger numbering system Adrian Frutiger designed his unique classification system to eliminate naming and specifying confusion.

It was first used with Univers, and was adopted for use in the, and typeface families. The number used in a font is a concatenation of two numbers. The first digit defines weight, while the second defines width and whether it is oblique or not. Suffix Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Weight - Ultra Light Thin Light Normal, Roman, or Regular Medium Bold Heavy Black Ultra or Extra Black Width and position Ultra Extended Ultra Extended Oblique Extended Extended Oblique Normal Oblique Condensed Condensed Oblique Ultra Condensed - (note: is not strict ) Due to some typeface manufacturers’ failure to understand and implement the system correctly, however, things have actually become more confusing.

To further complicate matters, the numbering system is not consistently applied to the Univers font family. In older publications, all oblique fonts have even-numbered 2nd values; but in digital versions, both odd and even 2nd values have been used on oblique fonts, but not in all font formats or weights. For example, Univers 55 Roman Oblique has both Windows menu names and PostScript full names as Univers LT 55 Oblique and Univers 56 Oblique, but only for the Windows PostScript version of the font; however, in Univers 85 Extra Black Oblique, there is no font named Univers 86 in any format. Nevertheless, oblique Univers fonts always have even-numbered 2nd value. Inconsistent usage aside, the syntax of 2nd value is also inconsistent with 1st value. Bigger 1st value implies the glyph of a given character uses more horizontal space, but it has opposite meaning in 2nd value.

Linotype numbering system In Linotype Univers and Univer Next font family, a 3-number system is used. First numeral describes font weight, second numeral describes font width, third numeral describes position. Suffix Number 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Weight - Ultra Light Thin Light Regular Medium Bold Heavy Black Extra Black Width - Compressed Condensed Basic Extended -Position Roman Italic -Unlike the original Univers, tilted fonts in Linotype Univers and derivative font families have not been named 'oblique'. Releases Versions of Univers have been released for almost every major typesetting system, including versions for a wide range of writing systems and with additional features such as.

Although Univers was originally conceived to take advantage of the cost-saving properties of phototypesetting (Deberny & Peignot, hoping to leapfrog their competitors by taking full advantage of the new technology, advertised their Lumitype glass master discs as each replacing three tons of brass ), Deberny & Peignot arranged licensing deals with type foundries such as Monotype for wider release. Univers was quite successful in metal type, with several weights among Monotype's best-selling of all time despite being released at the very end of the metal type era, although Frutiger felt that the Monotype version, which some later versions copied, was limited by the antiquated Monotype technical system. Pre-digital versions Frutiger (with Howard 'Bud' Kettler) adapted Univers for the in the 1960s. This was an ultra-premium electric 'golfball' system, intended to be used for producing high-quality office documents or copy to be photographically enlarged for small-scale printing projects.

Unlike most typewriters, the Composer produced proportional type, rather than monospaced letters. Ultimately the system proved a transitional product, as it was displaced by cheaper phototypesetting, and then in the 1980s by word processors and general-purpose computers. The release was somewhat compromised due having to be made to fit a 9-unit escapement system.

A specimen sheet of Univers Flair. Several pirate versions of Univers have been released taking advantage of the lack of copyright protection of typeface designs. One unusual modified version was 'Univers Flair', a 1970s phototype clone from Phil Martin's 'Alphabet Innovations', adding ostentatious. Frutiger, who found it amusing, placed a specimen on his office wall. Univers 45, 55, 65, 57, 67, 53, 63 are incorporated in PostScript standard as PostScript 3 core fonts. As Univers is installed with many printers, the PostScript substitute implementation uses a knock-off version of the most common weights created by URW called U001, which has been open-sourced. Linotype Univers In 1997 Frutiger reworked the whole Univers family in cooperation with, thus creating the Linotype Univers, which consists of 63 fonts.

By reworking the Univers more 'extreme' weights as Ultra Light or Extended Heavy were added as well as some monospaced typefaces. The numbering system was extended to three digits to reflect the larger number of variations in the family. In addition to extra font width and weight combinations, the fonts are digitally interpolated, so that character widths scale uniformly with changing font weights. For fonts within a specific font weight, caps height, x-height, ascender and descender heights are the same. For oblique fonts, the slope is increased from 12° to the 16° of Frutiger's original drawings, and the character widths were adjusted optically.

In addition, characters such as &, ®, euro sign, are redesigned, the ampersand to Frutiger's preferred true et ligature. Linotype Univers Typewriter Linotype Univers Typewriter is a sub-family of fixed-width fonts under the Linotype Univers family. Four fonts have been produced in Regular and Bold weights, with obliques on each weight. Characters such as 1, I, J, M, W, i, j, l, are drawn differently. Univers Next (2010) In 2010, Linotype extended the Linotype Univers family with true small caps and renamed as 'Univers Next'. All later extensions of the font family were marketed under the Univers Next title.

The font family includes all fonts previously released under the Linotype Univers title. Univers Cyrillic, Univers Pro Cyrillic (2010) In April 2010, Linotype announced the release of Cyrillic versions of the original Univers family, in TrueType, PostScript, and OpenType Pro font formats.
