Originally conceived as part of a unique display design created for Hershey’s Times Square flagship store, the PowerStation family is the perfect choice when looking for a font that speaks of strength, solidity and character. It comes in two “faceted” 3-D versions: “Block” where the dark side is dominant, and “Wedge” where you see more light than shadow. The family also includes both “Solid” and “Outline” versions of the font. They are all available in both normal and wide versions.

 

Adrian Frutiger designed Avenir™ in 1988, after years of having an interest in sans serif typefaces. In an interview with Linotype, he said he felt an obligation to design a linear sans in the tradition of Erbar and Futura, but to also make use of the experience and stylistic developments of the twentieth century. The word Avenir means 'future' in French and hints that the typeface owes some of its interpretation to Futura. But unlike Futura, Avenir is not purely geometric; it has vertical strokes that are thicker than the horizontals, an "o" that is not a perfect circle, and shortened ascenders. These nuances aid in legibility and give Avenir a harmonious and sensible appearance for both texts and headlines.
