The story

He drew letters for people rushing through airports half-reading at a glance, and if you've ever found your gate without missing a step, thank a man who agonized over the gap in a lowercase e. Designed the Univers and Frutiger typefaces, the latter engineered for legibility on airport signage at speed and distance.
