About the family


Humanist 777 is Bitstream’s reinterpretation of Adrian Frutiger’s groundbreaking humanistic sans serif typeface family, originally released by Stempel/Linotype during the mid-20th century. Humanist 777 embodies the softer, more organic side of the sans serif tradition. Unlike rigid geometric grotesques, it features subtle calligraphic modulation and open letterforms, making it highly readable and ideal for both extended text and versatile design systems.

The Frutiger typeface design has long been a trusted choice for advertising, editorial design, wayfinding, and branding worldwide. Humanist 777 can be ideal for creating multilingual design systems, accessible government interfaces, advertising and branding campaigns, as well as editorial and wayfinding projects.

About Bitstream

Bitstream is known among type enthusiasts and professionals alike as being one of the companies that lead the way towards the democratization of type. For centuries, the type world had been the exclusive domain of skilled typographers who worked large, cumbersome presses. With the birth of digital type though, came a revolution in the industry that enabled Bitstream, one of the first digital type foundries, to help grow the desktop publishing industry. The company’s founders shared a vision in which desktop publishing and digital type would open up doors and allow for the access of previously exclusive typefaces to a broader public audience. Eventually, this idea of opening up the type market led to the development of fonts like Amerigo and New Lincoln Gothic; designs that played huge roles in the launching, and eventual success, of desktop publishing. With best-selling typefaces like Futura in its line up, this library made an enormous impact on the type industry and helped to form it into what it is today.
