AVENIR Family An Introduction To The AVENIR Family By Stacey Chen O V E R V I E W l Avenir was designed by Adrian Frutiger. l The typeface was first released in 1988 with three weights, before being expanded to six weights. l In 2004, together with Akira Kobayashi, Frutiger reworked the Avenir family. l Avenir has now become a common font in web, print, and graphic design, etc. l Frutiger was born in Unterseen, Switzerland 1928. l At age 16, Frutiger was apprenticed as a compositor to a printer, while taking classes in woodcuts and drawing. l With his second wife, Frutiger had two daughters, who both experienced mental health problems and committed suicide as adolescents. l Frutiger spent most of his professional career working in Paris and living in France, returning to Switzerland later in life. A D R I A N F R U T I G E R l Charles Peignot of Deberny Et Peignot recruited Frutiger based on the quality of the wood- engraved illustrations of his essay. l Impressed by the success of Futura typeface, Peignot encouraged a new, geometric sans-serif type in competition. l Frutiger disliked the regimentation of Futura, and persuaded Peignot that the new sans-serif be based on the realist model. l In 1988, Frutiger completed the family Avenir. Frutiger intended the font to be a more human version of geometric sans-serif types popular in the 1930s, such as Erbar and Futura. A D R I A N F R U T I G E R “Avenir” = “Future” French English A V E N I R i s l Futura is a geometric sans-serif typeface designed in 1927 by Paul Renner. l Futura rejected the approach of previous sans-serif designs, which were based on the models of sign- painting, condensed lettering and 19th century serif typefaces, in favor of simple geometric forms: near-perfect circles, triangles and squares. l Futura is based on strokes of near-even weight, which are low in contrast. l The lowercase has tall ascenders and uses a single- story ‘a’ and ‘g’. The uppercase characters present proportions similar to those of classical Roman capitals. F U T U R A l Jakob Erbar designed Erbar in 1922, to l The success of Erbar inspired the creation pursue an ideal typeface that would be free of many new geometric sans-serif, including of all individual characteristics, possess Futura, Metro, Vogue, Spartan, Twentieth thoroughly legible letter forms, and be a Century, and Century Gothic, etc. purely typographic creation. E R B A R Avenir Avenir Oblique Avenir Roman Light Light Oblique Medium Medium Oblique Heavy Heavy Oblique A V E N I R N E X T l Between 2004–2007, Frutiger, together with Linotype's in-house type designer Akira Kobayashi, reworked the Avenir family to address on-screen display issues. The result was titled Avenir Next. l Avenir Next’s set of weights includes: ultra light, thin, light, regular, medium, demi bold, bold and heavy.

  • Tracing Futura
    MiraCosta College / oceanside MAT 155 Graphic Design 2 : Typography Min Choi // Fall 2017 TRACING FUTURA FUTURA— the prototype of the family of geometric sans-serif typefaces. It was designed in 1927 by Paul Renner. As opposed to earlier sans-serif designs, the strokes appear to be even weight and geometric. This seems most visible in the almost perfectly round stroke of the O but Futura is actually slightly imperfect. It is often said that Futura was directly related to the Bauhaus. Renner him- self was not associated with the Bauhaus although many of the modern principles taught at the Bauhaus are incorporated into the letterform design of Futura. Futura was developed during a competitive period in the 1920s when various foundries were developing modern san serif type faces for various lead type setting technology. It would be followed by Gill Sans by U.K. Monotype designed by Eric Gill and Metro by U.S. Linotype designed by W. A. Dwiggins. Futura was one of the most popular fonts in use in the 20th century, especially in the 1950s and 1960s, and is in use in the corporate Roman- design of Volkswagen to this day.

  • Linotype Matrix 4.2—The Legend Continues
    Mergenthaler Edition releases second issue of the new Linotype Matrix Linotype Matrix 4.2—the legend continues. Bad Homburg, 16 May 2006. Following its highly successful relaunch of Linotype Matrix in magazine format last year, Linotype’s publishing label, Mergenthaler Edition, is now releasing the second issue of the classic typographic journal. Linotype Matrix Issue 4.2 takes an exciting and informative look at typography in history – with a thematic focus on the great 20th century type designer William Addison Dwiggins. Within the 64 pages of this richly illustrated issue readers will find articles contributed by some of the best talents working in typography today. For instance, writer and typographer John D. Berry explores the legacy of the Deberny & Peignot type foundry, while the article on Dwiggins’ life and work has been penned by type designer and scholar Paul Shaw, an established Dwiggins authority. Additionally, renowned type historian Sylvia Werfel takes a look at how type systems make designing texts easier. 2006 marks the 50th anniversary of W. A. Dwiggins’ death—an appropriate moment to look back at the contributions of one of the first truly significant type designers from the U.S. As Paul Shaw is currently working on a doctoral dissertation at Columbia University about Dwiggins, he is able to offer an in- depth look at his prolific career as an illustrator, and tells us how, in his late forties, he began a second remarkable career in typeface design at Linotype. Dwiggins was, in fact, the first major type designer to work for the Mergenthaler Linotype Co. in New York and was responsible for creating many great designs, including Metro and Electra, and his most enduring typeface, Caledonia.

  • Allocative and Implementation Efficiency in HIV Prevention and Treatment for People Who Inject Drugs
    Allocative and implementation efficiency in HIV prevention and treatment for people who inject drugs UNODC Science Addressing Drugs and HIV: State of the Art Scientific Consensus for High Level Segment of the 59th session of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs Authors: David Wilson World Bank, Washington, DC, USA Clemens Benedikt World Bank, Washington, DC, USA David P. Wilson Burnet Institute, Melbourne, Australia Sherrie L. Kelly Burnet Institute, Melbourne, Australia Abstract: Background: Estimated global new HIV infections among people who inject drugs (PWID) declined by approximately 10% from 110,000 in 2010 to 98,000 in 2013. To achieve the 2020 UNAIDS target of reducing adult HIV infections by 75% compared to 2010, accelerated action in scaling up HIV programs for PWID is required. In a context of diminishing external support to HIV programs in countries where most HIV-affected PWID live, it is essential that available resources are allocated and used as efficiently as possible. Methods: Allocative and implementation efficiency analysis methods were applied. Optima, a dynamic, population-based HIV model with an integrated program and economic analysis framework was applied in eight countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA). Mathematical analyses established optimized allocations of resources. An implementation efficiency analysis focused on examining technical efficiency, unit costs, and heterogeneity of service delivery models and practices. Results: Findings from the latest reported data revealed that countries allocated between 4% (Bulgaria) and 40% (Georgia) of total HIV resources to programs targeting PWID – with a median of 13% for the eight countries. When distributed optimally, between 9% and 25% of all HIV resources are allocated to PWID programs with a median allocation of 16%.
