Talk:Univers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Swiss International Air Lines does not use Univers. It uses CH Sans by Freda Sack. It is a redesign of Univers, meeting aspects of more recent Typefaces in order to make it look more dynamic. Especially the special symbols like the "&" have been designed from scratch in this edition. I have adapted the Text in order to highlight this. Feel free to improve the text, as i'm not perfectly fluent in Writing Style...

I also removed the mention that Swiss is the successor of SWISS as this allegation would only be true from a de facto aspect. De jure, it is a successor of Crossair.

[edit] Pronunciation of Univers

I'd like to see a source for the pronunciation of Univers. I've never heard it pronounced as such. jr98664 02:56, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] www.linotype.com SPAM removed

Removed both these links:

• Weights of the Univers type family at Linotype.com
• Weights of the Linotype Univers type.

They lead to products... 87.203.147.71 03:38, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Univers on Apple keyboards

Apple started switching away from Univers for their keyboards long before August 2007. I own a ’2006 MacBook Pro and a ’2002 iBook which both feature VAG Rounded (or whatever it is exactly). I think the switch must have happened with the introduction of the white iBook in May 2001 and the Aluminium PowerBook in January 2003, while the desktop keyboards indeed kept Univers until August 2007.
