In 2010 the typeface family was extended and renamed into a more logical naming of 'Univers Next' to fit better in the Platinum Collection naming.Univers Next Variable are font files which are featuring two axis and have a preset instance from Light to Heavy and Condensed to Extended.Īvenir Next Pro is a new take on a classic face-it’s the result of a project whose goal was to take a beautifully designed sans and update it so that its technical standards surpass the status quo, leaving us with a truly superior sans family. Frutiger was successful in staying true to his initial aims the new Linotype Univers does indeed work in longer texts as well as for display settings. In fact, the strong familial relationships between all the styles and weights make it a serviceable choice for large graphic design projects that require versatility with consistency. With its sturdy, clean forms Univers can facilitate an expression of cool elegance and rational competence. The systemized numbering system has also been updated. By following Frutiger's original designs, the humanist character of the sans serif Univers now comes through more distinctly. The stroke weights were revised for consistency within each face as well as in relationship to the other weights.

The bold and condensed weights were reworked for improved legibility and on-screen application. The family was expanded from 27 to 63 weights, providing a much larger framework to graphic designers for choosing just the right style. All the existing weights were completely redrawn, with careful attention paid to making the proportions more consistent with each other and improving fine details such as curves and thick-to-thin stroke ratios. The result: a brilliant and cohesive font family of 63 weights and styles including the 4 monospaced typewriter weights. After a long process of painstakingly detailed revision, Frutiger and the design staff at Linotype completed this large joint project in 1997. Linotype Univers is a completely reworked version of the original Univers typeface family designed by Adrian Frutiger in 1957.
