==Early life== Adrian Frutiger was born in [[Unterseen]], [[Canton of Bern]], the son of a weaver.<ref name="Biography of Adrian Frutiger Linotype">{{cite web |title=Biography of Adrian Frutiger |url=http://www.linotype.com/2316-17765/biographyofadrianfrutiger.html |publisher=[[Mergenthaler Linotype Company|Linotype]] |access-date=12 September 2015 }}</ref> As a boy, he experimented with invented scripts and stylized handwriting in a negative reaction to the formal, cursive penmanship then required by Swiss schools. His father and his secondary school teachers encouraged him to pursue an apprenticeship rather than pure art. After initially planning to train as a pastry chef, Frutiger secured an apprenticeship at the Otto Schlaefli printing house in [[Interlaken]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Frutiger |first1=Adrian |title=Typefaces β the complete works |isbn=9783038212607 |page=12 |date=8 May 2014 }}</ref>
