Adrian Frutiger designed Univers for Charles Peignot at Deberny & Peignot using Swiss principles, adhering to strict rules that allowed its creation on Swiss principles. Frutiger enforced these strict rules across an entire collection that included dark to light shades as well as extra condensed and extended versions that could create harmony through foundry typography or photocomposition fonts; its various variants could then be combined within words and paired together; although one could argue that its style may have been limited due to strict conformity towards lesser commonly used extremes.
Helvetica gives us strong central designs at the cost of uniformity throughout, while Univers focuses on uniformity by distinguishing central from peripheral designs.
Universe can be distinguished from its original by the variation in character widths required by its casting system, while Linotype photocomposition variant, created by Frutiger and Frutiger, features more uniform shade throughout their series by loosening up on their rigid formula for calculating stroke width calculations.
