Univers

Univers is a classic Swiss neo-grotesque typeface designed by Adrian Frutiger. It was released in 1957, the same year as two other famous neo-grotesques—Folio and Helvetica. The design of Univers is somewhat similar to that of Helvetica, as both were based on the 1896 typeface Akzidenz Grotesk. Univers contains an absolutely huge variety of weights and widths, making it a much more flexible type family than Helvetica.
