Meridien

Undertaken in 1957 for Deberny & Peignot, Adrian Frutiger’s Meridien develops the Latin form into a classical text face of brilliant texture. Effective distribution of this exceptional face has been limited to France. Monotype Apollo can be seen as the Monotype version of this design; Sofratype’s Opera is a newstext version.

Meridien

Some words from Linotype:

Frutiger based the design for his Meridien on the 16th century characters of Jenson, saying: “As I designed Meridien, I wanted to avoid stiffness in the forms - I thought they should have a more natural line and flow. My main consideration was in creating a font which was both extremely legible and aesthetically pleasing.” Meridien is proof of Frutiger’s success in his endeavor.
