Adrian Johann Frutiger was a Swiss typeface designer who influenced the direction of type design in the second half of the 20th century. His career spanned the hot metal and digital typesetting eras; until his death, he lived in Bremgarten bei Bern. Frutiger's most famous designs, Univers and Avenir, are landmark sans-serif families spanning the three main genres of sans-serif typefaces: neogrotesque and geometric. Univers was notable for being one of the first sans-serif faces to form a consistent but wide-ranging family, across a range of widths and weights. Frutiger described creating sans-serif types as his "main life's work," due to the difficulty in designing them compared to serif fonts. Adrian Frutiger was born in Canton of Bern, the son of a weaver; as a boy, he experimented with invented scripts and stylized handwriting in a negative reaction to the formal, cursive penmanship required by Swiss schools. His father and his secondary school teachers encouraged him to pursue an apprenticeship rather than pure art.

After planning to train as a pastry chef, Frutiger secured an apprenticeship at the Otto Schlaefli printing house in Interlaken. At the age of sixteen, he was apprenticed for four years, as a compositor, to the printer Otto Schlaeffli in Interlaken taking classes in woodcuts and drawing at the Gewerbeschule in Bern under Walter Zerbe, followed by employment as a compositor at Gebr. Fretz in Zürich, Switzerland. In 1949 he transferred to the Kunstgewerbeschule Zürich, where he studied under Walter Käch, Karl Schmid and Alfred Willimann until 1951. Students there studied monumental inscriptions from Roman forum rubbings. At the Kunstgewerbeschule Zürich, Frutiger concentrated on calligraphy — a craft favouring the nib and the brush, instead of drafting tools, but began sketches for what would become Univers, influenced by the sans-serif types popular in contemporary graphic design. Frutiger married Paulette Flückiger in 1952, he married the theologian Simone Bickel in 1955. They had two daughters, who both experienced mental health problems and committed suicide as adolescents.

Disappointed by the standard of mental health care at the time and his wife founded the Fondation Adrian et Simone Frutiger to fund psychology and neuroscience research and developments in mental health support. In an interview, Frutiger described himself as a Calvinist. Frutiger spent most of his professional career working in Paris and living in France, returning to Switzerland in life. Charles Peignot, of the Paris foundry Deberny et Peignot, recruited Frutiger based upon the quality of the illustrated essay Schrift / Écriture / Lettering: the development of European letter types carved in wood, Frutiger's final project at the Kunstgewerbeschule Zürich. Frutiger's wood-engraved illustrations of the essay demonstrated his skill and knowledge of letter forms. At Deberny & Peignot foundry, Frutiger designed the typefaces Président, Méridien, Ondine. In addition, Charles Peignot set Frutiger to work upon converting extant typefaces for the new phototypesetting Linotype equipment. Adrian Frutiger's first commercial typeface was Président — a set of titling capital letters with small, bracketed serifs, released in 1954.

A calligraphic, script face, Ondine was released in 1954. In 1955, Méridien, a glyphic, old-style, serif text face was released; the typeface shows inspiration by Nicolas Jenson, and, in the Méridien type, Frutiger's ideas of letter construction and organic form, are first expressed together. Raph Levien described as a "Frutiger trademark" his common use of an "a" where the loop makes a horizontal line at the top on meeting the vertical, it makes use of narrow wedge serifs, a style sometimes known as Latin which Frutiger would use in his future serif designs. In 1956, he designed his slab-serif typefaces -- Egyptienne, on the Clarendon model. Charles Peignot envisioned a large, unified font family, that might be set in both the metal and the photo-composition systems. Impressed by the success of the Bauer foundry's Futura typeface, Peignot encouraged a new, geometric sans-serif type in competition. Frutiger disliked the regimentation of Futura, persuaded Peignot that the new sans-serif should be based on the realist model.

The 1898 face, Akzidenz-Grotesk, is cited as the primary model. To maintain unity across the 21 variants, each weight and width, in roman and oblique, was drawn and approved before any matrices were cut. In the Univers font, Frutiger introduced his two-digit numeration; the second digit indicates the face-width and either oblique. It was marketed with a design inspired by the periodic table; the response to Univers was positive. His slab serif designs Glypha are directly based upon it. Univers attracted attention to Frutiger's work outside continental Europe, he was commissioned by Monotype to create Apollo, their first typeface created for phototypesetting, released in 1964. In 1961–64, Frutiger created with André Gürtler a sans-serif font named Concorde for news use in regular and bold styles for Parisian printing company Sofratype. Required to create a design different to Univers, the design based on classical capitals with a greater classical influence than Univers influenced by a serif design Opéra
