zurich/univers typeface viewer  
 
 

drawing the user into an exploration of the zurch/univers typeface,
this work allows the viewer to visually probe the typeface for the answer to the, 'what might the in-between weights look like?' question.

(the zurich/univers typeface was completed by adrian frutiger in 1956. it was the first typeface to be released with complete weights (eg. bold, extra bold, italic, bold italic, etc...), and a type weight categorisation system.)
