Helvetica is a widely used sans-serif typeface developed in 1957 by Swiss typeface designer Max Miedinger with input from Eduard Hoffmann.

Frutiger (pronounced with a hard g) is a series of typefaces named after its Swiss designer, Adrian Frutiger.

Frutiger is a humanist sans-serif typeface, intended to be clear and highly legible at a distance or at small text sizes.

A very popular design worldwide, type designer Steve Matteson described its structure as "the best choice for legibility in pretty much any situation" at small text sizes, while Erik Spiekermann named it as "the best general typeface ever".

The Mergenthaler Linotype Company is a corporation founded in the United States in 1886 to market the Linotype machine, a system to cast metal type in lines (linecaster) invented by Ottmar Mergenthaler.

It became the world's leading manufacturer of book and newspaper typesetting equipment; outside North America, its only serious challenger for book production was the Anglo-American Monotype Corporation.

It also offered phototypesetting and digital products before being taken over by Monotype Imaging in 2006.

In metal typesetting, a font is a particular of a typeface.

Each font was a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consisting of a range of fonts that shared an overall design.

The ampersand is the logogram "&", representing the conjunction word "and".

It originated as a ligature of the letters et, Latin for "and".
