Other names include OPTI Silver (Castcraft), Ares Serif 94, and Sierra. URW++ lists the serif family in its 2008 on-line catalog. It is the font used on the highways in Switzerland. A typeface variant of Frutiger licensed under Linotype.
In 2010, Linotype published Univers Next, which includes 59 Linotype Univers weights and 4 monospaced Linotype Univers Typewriter weights, and can be rented for a mere 2675 Euros. I suggested "Universal", whereupon Peignot decided, in all modesty, that "Univers" was the most all-embracing name!. Monde was unsuitable for German, in which der Mond means "the moon". The name Europe was also discussed but Charles Peignot had international sales plans for the typeface and had to consider the effect of the name in other languages. About the name, Frutiger wrote I liked the name Monde because of the simplicity of the sequence of letters. Bitstream's Calligraphic 421 is slightly different. Adobe, Linotype and URW++ each have digital versions called Ondine. The Bitstream version of this font is Formal Script 421.
Quote: Helvetica is the jeans, and Univers the dinner jacket.
