About

I was tasked with researching Swiss designer Adrian Frutiger and his renowned typeface, Frutiger. Following my research, I created a booklet and a motion piece that captured the essence of his work. The project required me to present the history and characteristics of the typeface, using only the Frutiger font—no images allowed. This challenge was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate how to use typography alone to create visually appealing designs while effectively conveying information and showcasing the designer's mastery of graphic design principles.
