Guidelines for Raised Characters in Frutiger
Notes
Guidelines listed comply with ABA Section 703.
Leading and tracking values may be interpolated for text heights between 5/8” and 2”. Text heights outside this range are not compliant.
Frutiger 55 Roman is recommended. Frutiger 45 Light meets ABA standards for tactile characters but is not ideal for people who read by sight. Frutiger 65 Bold and above are too thick to meet ABA requirements for tactile characters.
Specify 1/16” raised prismatic characters to ensure 1/32” ABA minimum height is achieved/exceeded.
Ensure 3/8” free space around all text and symbols.
1/16”
