Neo Sans Font

Neo Sans was released by Monotype Corporation and was designed by Sebastian Lester in 2004. The concept of the design is advanced and futuristic while not expressing too much gimmick and drama. Lester describes it as readable without being neutral, and communicative without being distractive. However, due to bureaucratic decision of cancelling the design, the project didn’t push through. But this didn’t stop Lester in completing the project. Just after a year, Neo Sans and Neo Tech emerged.

Neo Sans showcases some rounded, square sans letterforms with six weights extending from light to ultra with italics. It is perfect for editorial and publication design. Due to its modern textures, many successful companies such as KIA Motors and UK ITV used it for advertising. Neo Sans can support up to 89 languages.

Frutiger Font

Frutiger font began when Adrian Frutiger in 1968 was tasked to create a design for an airport signage and directional system which was then called Airport Roissy and was later on changed to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. Many believed that Frutiger will follow the success of his own Univers font in making this signage, however he decided to make a new sans serif typeface which is a bit bolder than the original to better the letters and characters especially in dark places where lighting is poor or when readers are quickly passing by the airport, either driving or walking.

Unlike with the other font families, Frutiger is not geometrically based. It was created for readers to easily recognize and understand the characters that’s why it is ideal for signages and display work. While Frutiger was first introduced to airport due to the large-scale requirement, it was then used in many magazines and books wherein smaller scale of body text was also made available.

Frutiger remains on the 27th bestseller spot.
