Somehow, I missed that news.
Damn, the world of typography lost two of its biggest visionaries this summer alone.
I always preferred Zapf's fonts to Frutiger's by a wide margin (I always favor serif fonts over sans serifs), but they were both brilliant men, and typography won't be the same without either.
