I find the end result pretty attractive, and it's definitely distinctive - perhaps it could have wider applications than just signage: http://fonts.info/pub/pdf

  I wonder how it looks when rendered at very small sizes on computer screens? It might be surprisingly legible...

    Frutiger 45 is extremely legible at small text sizes, in fact. It was at one time very popular in the '90s for corporate documentation. On screen it works well if properly hinted. Frutiger Linotype has already been hinted for screen use and is very legible.

  That’s not uncommon. Frutiger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frutiger http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frutiger) was designed for the signage in the Charles De Gaulle Airport but was later used everywhere. The characteristics that make for a good signage font seem to me to be beneficial in many other applications.
