Returning to his designs from 1988 as a basis, Adrian Frutiger took it upon himself to bring his Avenir font family technologically up to date while also typographically expanding it. Supported by Akira Kobayshi, Frutiger’s explicit goal for Avenir Next was to carefully rework Avenir while also expanding the family with condensed weights and extended language support, creating a highly flexible typographical system able to meet the toughest demands in modern communication scenarios.

The wide variety of possibilities for accentuation means users can now implement Avenir Next for complex typographical tasks needed in such areas as Corporate Design or in the creation of business reports.
