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.
